Safety Information

We trust that you will have a safe and enjoyable event. Safety is always of number one importance. Please make it your top priority.

Flame Resistance
Each of our tipis carries a manufacturers flame resistant certificate, in accordance with our insurers requirements. This certificate is valid for 3 years from when the tent was manufactured. We replace our tents every three years to conform to this certification. IMPORTANT NOTE: Be very wary of hiring a tipi from company without flame resistant certification. You may well be un-insured as a result! If you have doubts ask to see their flame resistance certification.

Emergency Exits
There are two exits on opposite sides of each tent, which can be used as emergency exits. When multiple Kåtas are joined together provision is made to make sure these exits are useable. It is the client responsibility to make sure that the emergency exits are not obstructed at any time.

Fires
The Kåtas are designed to accommodate an open fire, but only using one of our specially designed Bamse fireplaces. During a period of hire we do not permit a fire to be lit in the Kåta using anything but the fireplace we supply. We supply a fire extinguisher, next to the fireplace. As with any open fire, do not leave it unattended.

Site location
Each Kåta requires a level pitch 14 meters in diameter, free from overhead trees, power lines and other obstructions. The ground must allow for metal stakes to be driven in, in order to provide a safe and secure anchorage of the Kåta.

Health and Safety Regulations
Some events require authorization from authorities, including the Health & Safety Executive and local Fire Service. Where necessary the client takes full responsibility for such authorization.
Upon request, World Inspired Tents will happily supply its full Health & Safety documentation, including comprehensive risk assessments and method statements.

Insurance
As with any hire contract the client is fully responsible for all loss or damage during the period of hire. Event insurance will give you peace of mind, covering you for all eventualities, including cancellation, theft and most importantly 3rd party liability, should one of your guests injure themselves. Event insurance does not have to be expensive and can easily be found on the internet or via your local insurance broker. Please note: for the purpose of insurance our tipis can be classified as a ‘marquee’.
