accordance with BS EN 1176 (1998) and BS EN 1177(1998). A
written report will be submitted to the school identifying any
hazards or risks found with each item of play equipment together
with note of any defects, omissions and failures to comply with
safety regulations and remedial works required to make the
equipment safe.
Out of hours emergency cover is
not included as part of this service.
