Creating a secure soft play environment begins with in-depth training that reflects the best practices outlined by respected authorities. Although basic safety measures are often in place, they must be evaluated against regulatory bodies such as ASTM, CPSC, and CPSIA. Assessing your training against such standards helps protect children, supports your reputation, and keeps your operations both legally compliant and ethically sound.
