About Course

Bouncy castles and other play inflatables can collapse or blow away if they are not properly inspected, anchored and supervised. This course covers HSE’s safety advice for operators, hirers and event organisers: PIPA tags and ADIPS declarations, annual inspection, anchoring with at least six points, the 24 mph wind limit, supervision and operating instructions.

This course gives general, awareness-level information about UK health and safety law and official guidance. It is not a substitute for employer-specific training, a suitable and sufficient risk assessment for your own workplace, or advice from a competent person, and it is not an accredited qualification. Always check the latest official guidance and follow your organisation’s own procedures.
