Each one of these inflatable devices has a valid T.S.S.A Licence which allows setup on public property. Yearly our Inflatables are inspected by an inspector from the T.S.S.A. During your ordering process a Partytime Inflatables Rental Agent can provide proof of permit for any device at your request. Devices that fall under the classification are Bounce Houses, Slides, Obstacle Courses and certain types of interactive games.

Products

Our inflatables are purchased from the number one industrial supplier in North America. Inflatables are manufactured with the highest quality material and industrial stitching. They exceed industry standards in both safety and design. Inflatables are brand new quality and maintained with care after every use.

BEWARE 
Beware of companies renting older equipment or equipment that appears unsafe in its design. Both of these aspects can be a safety concern which increases the chance of an injury or injuries.

Ride Attendants Training Module

Partytime Inflatables is launching a new Training Module that includes all the Safety Guidelines from the manufacturer and an understanding of the T.S.S.A Safety Act. Our Trained Ride Attendants will be some of the best individuals in the industry in 2018.

Clients should NOT be using their own volunteers to manage or supervise any T.S.S.A licensed device(s) during operation.

Only Trained Ride Attendant(s) can Operate the Device.

Training for each Ride Attendant is documented in the T.S.S.A Log Book for each device. Log books are kept on site during operations and are available for viewing by a T.S.S.A Inspector if they arrive on site. Partytime Inflatables is fully compliant with all Safety Regulations. Additionally we may ask for you to provide volunteers to assist with lineups and crowd control. As well to provide extra support for certain types of inflatables during operations.

BEWARE 
Inspectors from the T.S.S.A show up unannounced at events regularly. If paperwork is not in order or the device is defective in any way. The Inspector will issue an order to shut down the device immediately. A fine will be issued to the owner and possibly your event as well.

Ride Attendants should be at least 18 years of age and must have had actual experience with supervising the device they are operating. Take safety serious and don't cut corners just to save money on the rental service.
