Parents Safety of equipment

[Mom2monkeys]

Can anyone tell me if gyms (for insurance) have to have equipment inspected for safety? Our gym has several things that are questionable, safety wise. Thanks

I can't answer the for USA but I assume it would be similar to us. We are required to check the equipment for safety every single day. We have a check list as to what to look for and it must be signed off before a class arrives for the day. We do this as we set up.

Coaches will usually also check equipment every time they use it. As yiu go to a piece of a equipment you set up drills, adjust heights and place mats and while you do this you are always checking equipment.
