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’s inspection plan, 19/20, inflatable devices are identified within it as an area of work.</p><p> </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.

HSE’s analysis of the data for injuries to members of the public at fairgrounds and theme parks in 2014/15 found that upwards of 75% of reported injuries did not meet the criteria for a RIDDOR reportable injury.</li></ol><p> </p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 05/02/2019 17:44:31 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
