The figures in the table below provide the number of reported injuries in Great Britain to (a) workers and (b) members of the public, notified to HSE under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences 2013 (RIDDOR), where the industry activity recorded for the incident is \u2018Activities of amusement parks and theme parks\u2019.<\/p>
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has a dedicated National Fairground Inspection Team (NFIT) which enforces health and safety law at fairgrounds and theme parks in Great Britain. NFIT inspectors are located throughout GB and respond to accidents and incidents in their local area. They can also call on support from a range of Specialist Inspectors if necessary. The team also targets proactive inspection of fairground rides with known problems and other areas of higher risk; for the coming year\u2019s inspection plan, 19/20, inflatable devices are identified within it as an area of work.<\/p>
<\/p>
Online guidance freely available from HSE website has recently been revised and the content of this made known to industry dutyholders via their trade bodies. Local Authority colleagues who also have powers to inspect such devices have been made aware of this information also.<\/p>

In addition, the competitiveness of the domestic industry is heavily affected by a number of other factors, including commodity prices, exchange rates and oil prices.
