With very little time in which to prepare it, i have been asked to produce a risk assessment for one of my sites that wish to have a bouncy castle on their forecourt (car dealership) over the weekend.

If there is anyone out there with any examples of similar assessments and/or advice, i would appreciate all the help i can get.

Institute of Sport & Management have an excellent document entitled 'Safe use and operation of Bouncy Castles'. I can't unfortunately let you have a copy due to copyright restrictions; it may however be available as a download PD wise.

There is an HSE guide freely available with limited copy restrictions that you may also like to get hold of; it is a good document.It is entitled:

' Safe use and operaition of play inflatables including bouncy castles'

All the best

We regularly hire in inflatable attractions at weekend rallies. The company we use supply all safety documentation and shave their own insurance, ring your supplier this might be a good starting point.

Our insurance specifically excludes bouncy castles so I have never needed one. I would check with your own insurers that they will cover one if the suppliers don't carry the risk and won't be supervising it.
