Reliable soft play safety is founded on training programs built around industry-acknowledged benchmarks. While many businesses have some form of safety procedures, the question is whether those efforts hold up against frameworks from ASTM, the CPSC, and CPSIA. By measuring training practices against official standards, operators can enhance safety, strengthen customer trust, and fulfill legal obligations.
