Operating inflatable play equipment on a commercial basis in the United Kingdom:
If you are then it is important that you ensure that it undergoes regular checks in order to ensure that it is as safe as possible to use.
Here at Bounceroos Events we are proud to have our own in house Rpii inspector Colin Parker who can be found on the approved list of inspector by clicking here.
The Law:
When a company, organisation or individual makes available any equipment in return for payment they become subject to the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. This act places a duty of care on everyone involved in the transaction. This means that the operator, the operator's employees, the hirer, the hirer's employees and the owner or manager of the premises should do everything possible to ensure the safe use of the equipment.
In addition Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) require that all work equipment, and that includes inflatable play, must be tested by a competent person regularly (at least once a year).
It is suggested that all inflatable equipment in the UK is awarded RPii or PIPA certification from an inspector whom is part of the Register of Play Inspectors International (RPII)
