Sports playing surfaces are
varied and with the constant hard usage need to be adequately installed
and maintained. This is regardless of the covering, grass, wood, tarmac
, or matting.
General risk assessment should include daily inspection of
sporting or playing areas to ensure their are no obvious signs of wear
and tear that will pose a risk to injury. Holes and loose articles such
as stones can easily be missed. Professional
servicing for synthetic playing areas can be
ordered that will include inspection providing,
more detailed analysis and rectification .
