Please note:

  • Most companies will charge a "time and materials" rate that can be $75-$150 per hour.
  • Playground safety inspectors for regions around California are limited, but the list changes when new inspectors are added each December and July. Please check this page periodically to see updated information.

Playground safety inspectors must participate in the National Playground Safety Institute (NPSI) Playground Safety course and pass the NPSI exam. To obtain registration forms for future courses, view the playground safety information at www.cprs.org.
