Trampoline Park Daily Safety Inspection Checklist [FREE PDF]

Trampoline parks must comply with ASTM F2970, NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, and the OSHA General Duty Clause to protect patrons from foreseeable hazards. Daily inspections are the first line of defense against equipment failures, padding gaps, and emergency egress obstructions that can lead to serious injuries or citations. This checklist ensures your safety coordinator systematically verifies every critical zone before the facility opens to the public.
