Visual inspection library · Playgrounds and public spaces
Show the whole play area before moving to equipment and surfacing. Keep a visual record of where each observation was made and what needs follow-up.
Hold to record. Keep holding while you film and speak; release to save the clip and its transcribed answer.
Four 9:16 example clips generated in Google Flow. Fictional inspection; no customer site is shown.
App-style example using Google Flow footage. The animated recording interface and gradually appearing words are scripted; no real inspection or live transcription took place.
The full visual example
Each short clip shows one point in the guided route. The footage is AI-generated and the observations are scripted examples, not findings from a real inspection.
Show the entrance, layout and equipment in one orienting view. Record the site ID and visit time separately.
The small play area is shown empty with a swing, slide and rubber surface in view.
Film the seat, accessible chains, suspension area and ground below from safe positions. Record only what is visible.
The swing set is shown in a closer view; hidden connections and load capacity are not assessed.
Show the slide, accessible edge and approach. Note any area obscured by the camera angle.
The slide and its visible approach are shown; no operational test is recorded.
Show accessible ground below and around the equipment, including obvious litter, damage or pooled water if present. Finish with the context view.
Pale worn-looking patches and mat seams are visible on the rubber surface near the slide; impact performance is not tested.
Identify the site, equipment and visit stage, then take a wide view before each closer clip. Record obvious visible condition and where the camera cannot see. Route any concern for prompt action under the operator’s inspection and maintenance process. Routine phone footage cannot test stability, impact protection or BS EN 1176 compliance. It does not replace operational or annual specialist inspection.

How to use the record
Record the asset or site, visit stage, date and inspector. Keep each clip attached to its point and note anything inaccessible.
Say what the camera shows and where it is. Record the next action without guessing the cause or declaring a specialist result from video.

Routine phone footage cannot test stability, impact protection or BS EN 1176 compliance. It does not replace operational or annual specialist inspection.
Questions, answered
No. RoSPA distinguishes routine, operational and annual inspections. The annual inspection requires an independent specialist; footage only supports an appropriate visual record.
Start with the whole site and equipment location, then record obvious visible condition of accessible equipment and surfacing, with a clear follow-up route.
No. It does not test hidden fixings, stability, impact attenuation or dimensional compliance. The operator follows its inspection and maintenance process.
It shows how site details, four guided clips, observations, limits and follow-up can be assembled into a readable visit record.
