Reliable soft play safety is founded on training programs built around industry-acknowledged benchmarks. Although basic safety measures are often in place, they must be evaluated against regulatory bodies such as ASTM, CPSC, and CPSIA. By measuring training practices against official standards, operators can enhance safety, strengthen customer trust, and fulfill legal obligations.
