Safety & Manufacturing StandardsBlue Imp Safety Standards

As Canada's most experienced and trusted playground manufacturer, Blue Imp takes safety standards seriously. For us, safety is about more than meeting a standard. It's about thinking ahead and designing in a way that promotes easy supervision and prevents kids from putting themselves in danger. We are proactive in ensuring that our designs, processes and structures meet or exceed the standards established by CSA, ASTM and the CPSC's Handbook for Public Playground Safety. Please contact us for clarification of any standards, safety zones, non-encroachment zones, etc. prior to installing your playground.
