Speaking for issues of Standards Compliance in Playground Surfacing, and other Playing Surfaces

This CD and our website, www.playgroundadvisory.com will provide information that will elevate that knowledge of the reader.  There will always be circumstances where the detail presented is overwhelming or questions arise that beg answers in relation to specific issues that the reader is involved.  Sometimes there is the need to demonstrate some of the instrumentation that is described.  For this reason, Rolf Huber has spoken to associations, owner/operator groups, manufacture/suppliers and practitioners with regard to the topics that are currently the hot issue.

Key Benefits
