Education & Training

Knowledge is Power!

The #1 Risk management tool one can use is knowledge of—and execution of—REGULATIONS.

In-house Programs

Playground Safety & ADA Comprehensive

  • Part Classroom, Part Hands On (on a playground)

  • In addition to basics (Safe Zones; Protrusions, Entanglements, etc.—we go well beyond and explain things in layman's terms—for best comprehension and retention

  • In addition to Probes and Gauges you get to physically operate:

    • A TRIAX System—the only in-field device to measure/test surface resilience

    • A Rotational Penetrometer—the only in-field device to measure/test a surface's Firmness and Stability (for wheelchair use)

  • Digital levels to verify slopes and grades

  • ADA Compliance with Ramps and/or Transfer Stations

  • Elevated vs Ground

  • Risk management starts with KNOWLEDGE

Are you looking for an educational opportunity that is less formal and totally hands-on at your Facility?

See the Outline for Playground Safety and ADA Comprehensive. We travel anywhere and can provide something as simple as a one hour program at a conference to a 6 hour hands-on quite detailed program.

Pricing for a JP LaRue Inc. Seminar is based on location, length of program, and topics requested. Reach out for more information.
