Setting The Standard
|
We are proud to announce that from 1st February 2009, we are setting the standards in electrical safety within our industry.
We already comply with the stringent ADIPS (Amusement Device Inspection Procedure Scheme), which is the Health and Safety Executives recommended inspection scheme for funfair attractions, but from the start of February we are taking things a step further by combining the Portable Appliance Testing (commonly known as PAT) scheme with the ADIPS scheme.
We have had the majority of our equipment and power cables PAT tested for the last couple of years. However a desire to exceed the current safety requirements, and actually set the standard, has led to the purchase of our own electrical testing equipment, followed by training for key members of staff.
As a result we now have the procedures in place to test all of our equipment and power cables at least every six months, with a view to increasing the frequency of this testing as more members of staff are qualified to undertake PAT testing. Additionally we have purchased RCD testing equipment allowing us to regularly test the safety devices fitted to much of the equipment we operate.
As a final initiative, we have added a number of in line RCD devices to our equipment reserves, this will allow us to provide additional protection to our attractions when we are operating inside older buildings and events venues. Our portable generators are already fitted with protection devices of this type, which again will receive regular audited testing to ensure that we have no compromises when it comes to ensuring the safety of our equipment.

Fairtrade, Kosher And Halal too!
|
From 1st February our Candy Floss Crazy catering arm will have switched to Halal and Kosher ingredients on all their candy floss carts. They have been using only certified Fairtrade ingredients since late 2007, but they have taken this a step further by sourcing ingredients that carry both Kosher and Halal certification, whilst still being Fairtrade.

Funfair Accident
|
The funfair industry has the best safety record of any passenger carrying industry in the U.K. Although extremely rare accidents unfortunately do happen (no industry has a zero accident record although that is what we must all strive for). Over the weekend at a park in the Manchester area a young girl was injured on a waltzer ride.
The cause of the accident has not been made known as yet, but the injured girl was trapped underneath the moving platform of the ride and suffered two broken legs but here injuries are not life threatening. |
