Indoor Play - Annual Inspector |
This examination is designed to certify the competence of
inspectors carrying out Annual Inspections . Examinations are held
as required.
Cost per candidate: £240 plus Annual Membership Fee
£80
The assessment day will consist of two parts, written and a practical examination.
The writen examination will consist of two papers containing some multiple choice questions. Both papers will test your knowledge of BS8409:2002, Indoor Play Area Guidance on Safe Practice (published by ILAM), EN1176 and EN1177, and your working knowledge of the design, manufacture, materials used, operating, maintenance and inspection of fully enclosed play equipment.
A practical play area inspection and audit will be carried out in the presence of an RPII examiner. You will be required to carry out an Annual Inspection and audit of fully enclosed play equipment. You will need to describe what you are doing and explain the reasons for your actions. You will also need to make notes. The Assessor may ask questions to clarify why you are inspecting in a particular manner.
You will be permitted to refer to your own short codes, reference book, Standard, etc. However, there will be a time limit for the inspection and audit.
You will be required to demonstrate that you know how to use EN1176 Standard probes during the course of your inspection. Probes will be available on site, or you may bring your own.
An important emphasis of the assessment will be on your ability to identify hazards as well as technical failures linked to the requirements of EN 1176.
At the end of the assessment your written notes will be viewed by the examiner who will either countersign or photocopy them and return them to you before you leave. You will then be required to submit a completed inspection report within two weeks.
The Inspection Report must be based on the notes you have made
on site, although it is quite permissible to refer to the Standard
for clarification where the data is not commonly used. The written
inspection site notes will, therefore, need to indicate where you
considered there might be failures and what they might be.
The use of photographs, drawings or site plans to supplement your
final Report are welcomed, but are not a requirement.
