Weather:

​

Monitoring the weather is crucial to safety. There are several ways to do this, including using the wind reader supplied, observing overhead clouds and even Googling “weather near me”. Also make sure to use the websites listed below:

​

RAIN: bom radar: http://www.bom.gov.au

 

WIND: willy weather: https://wind.willyweather.com.au

 

Wet weather: if there is any rainfall, 1st remove all patrons, 2nd turn inflatable off, 3rd disconnect the power supply & then cover blowers, extension leads with our safety mats or remove items and place in an undercover area

 

Windy weather: if wind speeds are unsafe, exceed 32kmh or there are signs of severe winds approaching, the inflatable must be evacuated immediately, power supply turned off and if required, you can open the zippers located on the sides to help inflatable deflate quicker

 

Lightning: if there are any signs of lightning, the inflatable must be evacuated immediately and then turned off.

   • No shoes are allowed on the inflatable at any time. This rule is in place to prevent damage to the inflatable and reduce the risk of injury.

2. No Food or Drinks:

   • Food and drinks are strictly prohibited on or near the inflatable to prevent slipping hazards and maintain a clean and safe environment.

3. Age and Size Segregation:

   • Separate children by both age and size, and organize playtime in turns to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants.

4. Avoid Mixing Age Groups:

   • Do not allow small and big children to play on the inflatable simultaneously to prevent accidental collisions and injuries.

​

Maximum Participants at Any One Time:

​

• Jumping Castles: 6 children at a time

• Obstacle Course: 2 at a time, maintaining a safe distance between participants.

• Slip 'n' Slides: 1 at a time, ensuring the area is clear before sending the next participant.

• Water Slides with Pool: 1 person at a time, ensuring the area is clear before sending the next participant.

Here is some more safety information to consider:

​

1. Weather Conditions:

   • Monitor weather conditions closely. In case of rain, strong winds, or adverse weather, it's important to evacuate the inflatable immediately. Wet surfaces can become slippery, and inflatables may pose additional risks during inclement weather. Turn off the inflatable if the blower/and or any electrical equipment is not covered.

2. Supervisor Training:

   • Ensure that supervisors are adequately trained in first aid and CPR. Having a well-trained supervisor on-site enhances the response to any emergencies or injuries.

3. Emergency Evacuation Plan:

   • Develop and communicate a clear emergency evacuation plan. Participants and supervisors should know the designated assembly area and the procedures to follow in case of an emergency.

4. Participant Health Considerations:

   • Before allowing participants on the inflatables, check for any existing health conditions or injuries. Individuals with recent surgeries, medical conditions, or injuries may need special attention or be restricted from certain activities.

5. Participant Communication:

   • Encourage open communication between participants and supervisors. If a participant feels unwell or encounters any issues, they should know how to communicate this to the supervisor immediately.

6. Proper Inflation Check:

   • Before allowing participants on the inflatables, perform a visual inspection to ensure that the inflatable is fully and evenly inflated. Any signs of deflation should be addressed promptly.

7. Supervisor Visibility:

   • Ensure that supervisors have a clear line of sight to all areas of the inflatable. This ensures effective monitoring and quick response to any issues.

8. Post-Event Inspection:

   • After the event, conduct a thorough inspection of the inflatables. Check for any damages, wear and tear, or potential safety hazards that may have occurred during the event.

9. Participant Briefing:

   • Prior to the start of the event, gather participants for a brief safety orientation. Highlight key rules, emergency procedures, and the importance of adhering to the supervisor's instructions.

10. Restricted Access to Setup Area:

    • During setup and takedown, restrict access to the inflatable area. This ensures the safety of participants and staff involved in these processes.

 

 

Never leave the inflatable unattended, if you need to leave, ensure someone else responsible covers

 

Turn off the inflatable blower if you need to leave the inflatable, this will avoid any incidents 

 

Never move the inflatable once it has been installed, do not remove any pegs, weights or untie any ropes

How to evacuate the inflatable:

​

• Calmly and safely ask the children to exit the inflatable from the nearest exit (you may need to hold the exit open if it's already deflating).

• Once the inflatable has been evacuated, ensure you turn the inflatable off by the blower.

• Once the blower is off, undo the zips which are situated under the velcro (usually on the sides of the inflatable)

• Ensure you stand with the inflatable to make sure it deflates safely and no one reenters the inflatable

• At this point, make sure to cover the blower, or place it under the inflatable to avoid the blower getting wet (you can also disconnect the blower and take it inside if you remember how to)
