The local high school requires that students contribute a minimum number of volunteer hours to the community before they can graduate, and we're thinking of routine playground inspections as an opportunity for us and them. Does anyone have experience using high school students in this kind of role? Pros? Cons? Any thoughts on reliability and/or accuracy?
Thanks!
If the inspections are considered 'informal' and outside of the normal risk management program - they would be beneficial. There is specific training and certification (CPSI) needed for formal audits.
Anyone can walk through a playground help with the following:
If loose fill surfacing is used in the play area it has to be periodically replentished. This would be a great volunteer project.
