Bouncy Castle and Inflatable Health and Safety

RPII Certification

All of our inflatables are tested yearly by our in-house RPII (Register of Play Inspectors International) inspector, Dave Morris. He carries out rigorous testing of each inflatable, and only when it passes is a safety certificate issued. We only use the PIPA scheme for certification, giving full traceability for anybody to check an inflatable's safety at any point. Dave also carries out annual and initial PIPA testing for other inflatable operators, so this is working inspection experience rather than a certificate we only use on our own fleet.

PIPA Tagged

All of our inflatables are PIPA tagged and tested by a PIPA Inflatable Inspector, giving you additional assurances that our inflatables are designed and manufactured to the recognised BS EN 14960:2019 safety standards. Our range is tested by a nationally qualified inspector, and our equipment is approved for commercial use. The tags that we use can be checked against a national database, ensuring our equipment is fully traceable for safety at all times.

As part of our commitment to safety, our bouncy castles, activity play units, inflatable slides and assault courses are independently PIPA inspected, tagged and certificated. If the inflatable you are planning on hiring doesn't come with any traceable way of checking that it's safe for use, DON'T hire it, and challenge the company to prove its safety.

PIPA is the only inspection and testing scheme recognised by the HSE. We suggest that you don't take a risk with untested, dangerous inflatables supplied by others. Book with confidence and ensure your event uses tested equipment. If a venue needs the inspection details before a booking, ask us and we will send them across.

ADIPS Inspections for Mechanical Devices

Our rodeo rides, climbing wall, surf simulator and Last Man Standing sweeper are mechanical amusement devices rather than ordinary inflatable play equipment and are inspected under ADIPS. We have also attended an ADIPS and PIPA safety awareness day covering HSE guidance and responsibilities.

Electrical Safety Assured

All of our electrical equipment is tested annually by certified Portable Appliance Testers (PAT) and is checked for safety.

Public Liability Insurance

Whether the inflatable is located indoors or out, our range is covered by Public Liability Insurance of £10 million, giving you the peace of mind that we are covered.

Insurance Certificate is available on request Risk Assessments are available for all equipment on request.

We also carry additional insurance cover for licensed premises, which is a requirement as the standard insurance does not cover this.

Staff Training

All staff are fully trained in the safe operation and installation of all our hire equipment and have taken the RPII operators and supervisors examinations. Every employee is enhanced-DBS registered.

The training covers everything from manual handling, safe setup of an inflatable outdoors and inside (the do's and don'ts), wind speeds and other setup requirements and how to measure them, anchorage, impact areas, what is required in a routine inspection (what you should do every time you hire a unit), how to supervise a castle safely, the duties of an operator, attendant or supervisor, and many other things.
