There are an estimated 200,000 playground related injuries or illness in the United States per year. Maintaining the safety of the playgrounds in which our children play on is crucial to maintaining their health and well-being. Day cares, schools, home day cares, pre-schools, Head Start programs, community centers and city parks all can benefit from the expertise of a Certified Playground Safety Inspector.

Yet, the pay I receive does not always allow me to purchase the necessary attire.
