Home Based Business Opportunity.com - Safety Precautions in the Moonbounce Business

I got a call from an owner last night telling me he had a bounce overturn at an event yesterday. Just the thought of that sends shivers down my spine. Fortunately, no one was in the unit at the time but that was just pure luck.

His drivers swear they staked the unit down. So...who is to blame?

I suggested for his (and the end users) protection in the future that he do a couple of different things.

#1...make sure he uses the proper size stakes and that they are pounded all the way in the ground. Also, make sure the type of the stakes are marked or covered with cones so that no one trips.

#2...If the ground has sprinklers and the set up people don't feel that they can push the stakes in all the way, use the proper sand bags instead of stakes.

#3...Now...for the final item...make SURE that when the set up people go over safety instructions that they tell the person in charge to check every 15 minutes or so to make sure the stakes are securely in the ground. This should be written on the instructions left with the owner, and also verbalized.

There are very few accidents in this industry...most are caused by improper staking. Make sure delivery people know that units must ALWAYS be staked, even if there is no wind and if you're attending the unit with your own people, they should consistently check to make sure stakes are secure.

Even if your business is small, you want to start it properly and make sure all new employees understand that safety is ALWAYS your primary concern.
