SIOTO Certification

Inflatable Safety Certification

With our comprehensive training, inflatable operators learn how to properly inspect units for wear and tear, assess weather conditions, and enforce safety guidelines to protect users at all times.

We help your team develop checklists and pre-event safety protocols, so nothing is forgotten during the setup process-especially when time is tight.

Our hands-on training helps operators identify faulty blowers, worn straps, damaged seams, or other mechanical issues that could lead to accidents if left unnoticed.

SIOTO trains operators to choose safe installation sites by identifying potential hazards like uneven ground, overhead obstructions, or nearby power lines-key factors in accident prevention.

SIOTO trains operators on child development and physical limitations, ensuring that inflatables are used appropriately by age group and size for safe and enjoyable play.

SIOTO's curriculum includes how to safely transport, store, and unload inflatables-often-overlooked steps that can still pose injury risks if handled improperly.
