PIPA has released TB013 – Inflatable Evacuation Times, an important new technical bulletin that sets out a consistent, risk‑based approach for assessing whether users can safely evacuate an inflatable if the blower loses power. This is a major development for inspectors and controllers, especially as inflatable designs become larger and more complex.

It aims to bring consistency to his important inspection requirement. There is also lots of information for controllers to consider as part of implementing their safe systems of work.
