Jeff Snider of Snider & Associates, Inc. was recently certified as a Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI) by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA).
The CPSI program is designed to ensure all certified individuals are qualified to inspect playgrounds for safety issues and make certain that the playgrounds meet the current national standards for safety, developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials and the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
To become a certified CPSI, individuals must pass a nationally-administered examination, which tests individuals’ knowledge in the following areas: Playground Safety Milieu (evolution of playground safety and involved U.S. organizations and government agencies); Role of Child Development; Foundations of Playground Safety Surfacing; Playground Infrastructure (Equipment); Playground Layout and Design; and, Playground Safety Practices/Management.
Jeff has been in the playground industry since he was a kid. His father, Chuck Snider, started Snider & Assoc. in the late 80’s. Snider & Assoc. is a full service playground provider. They can design, sell, install, and service/maintain your playground equipment. Jeff can be reached at 800-888-2889 or http://www.cvsnider.com/.
The CPSI program is offered by the National Certification Board in coordination with NRPA and the National Playground Safety Institute. CPSI certifications are valid for a period of three years.
