How Infl8 Hire Keeps Your Event Safe

Safety is at the centre of everything we do at Infl8 Hire. Whether we are supplying a bouncy castle for a garden party or supporting a large school or community event, our processes are designed to reduce risk and help events run smoothly. This guide explains the steps we take before, during, and after your hire to keep users, spectators, and organisers safe.

Infl8 Hire provides Bouncy Castles and inflatable hire across Scunthorpe, Hull, Doncaster, Grimsby, and surrounding areas. Our safety approach is based on experience, preparation, and clear communication.

Careful equipment selection

Safety starts with choosing the right equipment for each event. We take into account the age of users, the type of event, available space, and whether the hire is indoors or outdoors. This helps ensure the inflatable supplied is suitable for its intended use.

By matching equipment to the venue and audience, we reduce overcrowding, misuse, and unnecessary risks from the outset.

Pre-hire checks and preparation

All inflatables are checked before every hire to ensure they are clean, in good condition, and ready for safe use. Fans, cables, and anchoring points are inspected as part of our preparation process.

This preparation helps prevent issues during setup and ensures equipment arrives ready to be installed correctly.

Safe delivery and professional setup

Our team handles delivery and setup for all hires. Inflatables are positioned carefully, anchored correctly for the surface type, and connected to a suitable power supply.

We assess access routes, ground conditions, and surrounding hazards on arrival. If any aspect of the setup area is unsuitable, we will explain the issue and discuss alternative options before proceeding.

Surface and anchoring assessment

Every setup includes an assessment of the surface the inflatable will be placed on. Grass, hard standing, astroturf, and indoor flooring all require different anchoring methods.

Correct anchoring is essential for stability, particularly for outdoor events. If a surface is unsafe or unsuitable, we will not proceed with setup.

Weather monitoring and on-the-day decisions

Weather conditions can change quickly, especially for outdoor events. We monitor forecasts in the lead-up to your booking and assess conditions again on the day.

If wind, rain, or other conditions make inflatable use unsafe, we will explain the situation clearly and discuss available options such as delaying use, moving indoors, or adjusting the equipment supplied.

Clear guidance for supervision

Safe use of inflatables relies on proper supervision. We provide clear instructions on numbers, age suitability, and general rules for use as part of every hire.

Good supervision helps manage behaviour, reduce collisions, and respond quickly if children become tired or upset.

Power and cable safety

Electrical safety is another key part of our setup process. Power connections are checked, and cables are routed to minimise trip hazards and reduce the risk of accidental unplugging.

We only proceed with setup when a suitable and safe power supply is available for the inflatable being hired.

Support for larger events

For larger or more complex events, we can provide additional support to help manage safety throughout the day. This may include advice on layout, spacing between attractions, and crowd flow.

Where required, we can also supply Event Staff to assist with supervision and smooth operation at busy events.

Clear communication with organisers

Clear communication is a key part of keeping events safe. We ask questions at the booking stage to understand your venue and event, and we keep in touch if conditions or requirements change.

If we identify a safety concern, we explain it clearly and offer practical solutions wherever possible.
