Health, Safety & Documentation

Insurance, Risk Assessments & Safety Documents

Find the health and safety documentation you need for your Live 9 Events booking, venue or event, including insurance, method statements, risk assessments, equipment certification and inflatable testing information.

What Do You Need?

Select a section below to jump straight to the information or documentation you're looking for.

Safety Comes First

At Live 9 Events, safety is our top priority. Our equipment is regularly inspected, tested and maintained, and our team follows documented setup, operation and pack-down procedures.

All applicable inflatable equipment complies with BS EN14960 standards and carries a valid PIPA tag where the equipment falls within the scope of the PIPA Scheme.

Our health and safety documentation is organised below so venues, event organisers and clients can quickly find the information relevant to their event.

Supervision & Staffing

Responsibility for supervising equipment depends on whether operational staff are included with your booking.

An attraction is considered staffed where operational staff are included within the product hire price and the product is shown on your quotation as “Incl. Staff”, or where staff have been added separately to your quotation for an agreed staffing period.

Where Staff Are Included

Where operational staff are included, our team will manage the safe operation of the attraction during the agreed staffing period.

  • Safe operation of the equipment
  • Supervision of participants
  • Managing user numbers and safe participation
  • Monitoring equipment during operation
  • Monitoring wind and weather conditions where applicable

Where Equipment Is Hired Without Staff

Where an attraction is not marked “Incl. Staff” and operational staff have not been booked separately, the equipment is supplied unstaffed.

The hirer must provide a responsible adult dedicated to the individual piece of equipment throughout its operation and ensure all operating and safety information provided is followed.

Outdoor Inflatable Hire

For outdoor inflatable bookings supplied without Live 9 Events operational staff, the hirer is responsible for appropriate supervision and ongoing wind monitoring during the hire period in accordance with the safety information provided.

Specialist Attractions

Certain attractions, including some rodeo experiences, climbing walls and other specialist equipment, require a trained operator and may therefore include Live 9 Events staff as part of the standard hire.

Additional Event Staff

Additional trained event staff can be provided where required. Staffing requirements vary depending on the equipment, event, operating period and expected participant numbers.

Documents are grouped by category to make it easier to find the information you need.
