Playground Safety Course Helps Keep Kids Safe

Each year in the United States, over 156,000 playground injuries occur resulting in 15 fatalities. Making sure North Dakota’s playgrounds are safe for our children is the responsibility of owners, operators, designers, manufacturers and all other caretakers. To help schools, daycares, parks and recreation agencies, and others ensure their playground hazards are minimized, the North Dakota Recreation & Park Association (NDRPA) is offering its 10th annual Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI) course April 10-12 in Bismarck.

This two-day course provides participants the opportunity to learn about the latest developments in playground safety through classroom instruction and hands-on site investigation, as well as the chance to become a certified playground safety inspector by successfully completing an exam on the third day. The CPSI course is sponsored by the North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department and the North Dakota Insurance Reserve Fund and hosted by the Bismarck Parks and Recreation District.

The course registration deadline is March 13. Registration materials are available online at http://www.ndrpa.com or by calling 701-355-4458.
