Amusements and Attractions

Amusements and attractions may include fairgrounds, individual fairground rides, inflatable devices e.g., bouncy castles etc.

Specific guidance is available for each type of attraction and is detailed within “Applicable Legislation and Guidance” on page 1.

• CDM Regulations apply to the build and break down of funfair rides.
• You need to ensure that the operator/owner of the ride(s) is competent and are adequately resourced.
• Insurances, risk assessments and evidence that all relevant devices have valid test certificates are to be reviewed prior to the event.
• Ensure amusements and attractions are procured from reputable suppliers and/or operators belonging to a recognised trade body, where possible.
• Ensure amusements and attractions are sited correctly to avoid overhead and underground services.
• Ensure there is a means of monitoring wind speed available.

Please Note: Fairground rides and inflatables are work equipment which, under law, require regular inspection and should be inspected annually. Evidence must be provided that these inspections have taken place prior to the event.
