Equipment Register

Every inspection, every certificate, every PIPA tag — tracked automatically

Stop wrestling with spreadsheets. SafePlay's equipment register gives you a complete, live view of every piece of equipment in your venue and its compliance status. You'll know instantly which items have passed their PIPA or ADIPS inspection, which are due, and which need pulling out of service. It's the kind of clarity that makes inspectors nod approvingly instead of reaching for their notepad.

The problem with doing this manually

Tracking equipment inspections across multiple spreadsheets

Manually checking PIPA tag expiry dates one by one

Scrambling to find certificates when inspectors arrive

Key capabilities

Full Equipment Database

Log every item with manufacturer, serial number, install date, and inspection history. No more hunting through folders to figure out when the ball pit blower was last serviced.

PIPA & ADIPS Tracking

Automatic status tracking for inflatable and amusement device inspections. The system knows the difference between a PIPA annual and an ADIPS periodic — you just see green, amber, or red.

Certificate Upload

Attach inspection certificates directly to each equipment record. Snap a photo of the paperwork or upload the PDF — it's linked to the right item forever.

Status Dashboard

Traffic-light indicators show compliance status at a glance. Open the app, see green across the board, get on with your day.

Inspection History

Complete audit trail of every inspection, pass or fail. When an HSE inspector asks for the last three years of records, you've got them in about four clicks.

Custom Fields

Add custom fields for any equipment-specific data you need to track. Got a climbing wall with route grades or a go-kart fleet with engine hours? Build exactly the fields you need.

How it works

Getting your equipment into SafePlay takes about 15 minutes for a typical venue.

1

Add your equipment

Enter each piece of equipment with its key details — manufacturer, serial number, install date. You can bulk-import from a spreadsheet if you've already got a list somewhere.

2

Upload your certificates

Attach your current PIPA tags, ADIPS certs, and EN1176 inspection reports to each item. Take a photo with your phone or drag in the PDF. Done.

3

Let SafePlay do the watching

The system tracks every expiry date and flags items as they move from green to amber to red. You'll get alerts well before anything lapses — no more nasty surprises.

Real-world example

Sarah runs a 12-station soft play centre

Sarah used to spend every Sunday evening updating her equipment spreadsheet. With SafePlay, she added all 12 stations once, and now the system tracks every PIPA inspection automatically. When the inspector arrived last month, she pulled up the full compliance report in 30 seconds.

Common questions about Equipment Register

Anything in your venue. Soft play frames, trampolines, inflatables, climbing walls, go-karts, ride-ons, ball pit blowers — if it needs inspecting or maintaining, it belongs in the register. We've even got venues tracking their fire extinguishers and PAT-tested appliances.
Yes. PIPA covers inflatables and ADIPS covers mechanical amusement devices. SafePlay understands both schemes and tracks their different inspection cycles automatically. If you've got a mix of equipment types, everything lives in one place.
Absolutely. If you've got a spreadsheet (and most people do), you can bulk-import it. We'll map your columns to our fields and pull everything in. Most venues are up and running inside an afternoon.
The item turns red on your dashboard immediately. You'll also get email alerts at each warning stage — 90, 60, 30, 14, and 7 days before expiry. If something does lapse, it's flagged clearly so you can pull it out of service until it's re-inspected.
They do, and most prefer it. HSE inspectors and local authority officers are used to seeing digital systems now. You can show them the dashboard directly or export a PDF report they can take away. Several of our venues have had inspectors comment on how organised it looks.
