The Soft Play Area Risk Assessment Template has been developed to assist Australian facility operators in meeting their obligations under Work Health and Safety legislation and relevant Australian Standards for playground equipment and surfacing. This document should be used when establishing new soft play facilities, conducting regular safety reviews, or updating risk management procedures. It provides a structured framework for identifying potential hazards, evaluating risks, and implementing appropriate control measures specific to soft play environments. The template incorporates requirements from AS 4685:2021 and other relevant Australian safety standards, making it an essential tool for facility operators in maintaining safety compliance and protecting young users. Regular updates to this assessment are recommended to reflect changes in legislation, standards, or facility operations.
