Typical hazards & measures
Balloon-related injuries
— Use high-quality balloons and ensure proper inflation to avoid bursting. Supervise young children with balloons to prevent choking or strangulation risks. Dispose of popped balloons promptly to reduce hazards.
Food allergies
— Collect dietary information from guests in advance and clearly label all food items with potential allergens. Have an emergency plan in place, including access to antihistamines or epinephrine auto-injectors, and ensure staff are trained to respond to allergic reactions.
Inadequate supervision
— Maintain an appropriate adult-to-child ratio, considering the age and activity level of the children. Assign specific supervision duties to adults, ensuring all areas and activities are monitored. Conduct a pre-event briefing to outline safety protocols and emergency procedures.
Electrical hazards
— Inspect all electrical equipment, such as sound systems or lighting, for frayed cords or damage before use. Ensure that extension cords are appropriately rated for the equipment and do not create trip hazards. Use ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) in areas where water exposure is possible.
Inappropriate use of social media/photos
— Inform guests of the photography policy in advance and provide an opt-out option for parents/guardians who do not consent to their child being photographed. Clearly label private areas as “no photo zones” and monitor social media posts for compliance.
