Targeted inspections on the safety of specific fairground and theme park rides are taking place after a string of incidents.
The programme from the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), which runs until September 2023 and will feature an additional 100 inspections, aims to promote the safe use of certain rides.
This follows a number of incidents at different fairgrounds and theme parks in recent years, several of which are currently under investigation by HSE.
