Iowa Code r. 875-61.4 - Inspections requirements
Pursuant to Iowa Code chapter 88A, covered equipment must pass an inspection at least annually. Inspections will be performed according to the rules set forth and standards adopted in 875-Chapters 61 to 63.
(1)
Inspection types. In
addition to the inspections listed below, an inspection may be conducted by the
commissioner at any time. The fee schedule for annual inspections set forth in
Iowa Code section 88A.4 shall apply to all
inspections performed by division of labor services inspectors. No person shall
operate covered equipment at a fair or carnival unless the covered equipment
has passed an inspection in the current calendar year.
a.
Annual inspection by
owner. At the discretion of the commissioner, the owner of an
air-supported structure may be designated by the commissioner to perform the
annual inspection of the owner's air-supported structure, blower, and related
electrical equipment. An owner designated pursuant to this paragraph shall
perform the inspection according to applicable standards. The owner shall
submit in the format required by the commissioner an affidavit attesting to the
performance of the inspection, correction of code violations, and other
required information. A designation pursuant to this paragraph shall terminate
on December 31 of the year of issuance.
b.
Annual inspection by a division of
labor services inspector. Unless an inspection is waived pursuant to
Iowa Code section 88A.13, or the inspection is
performed by the owner pursuant to paragraph 61.4(1)"a," a
division of labor services inspector shall inspect covered equipment prior to
operation.
c.
Major
modification inspection. After covered equipment has undergone a major
modification, the covered equipment must pass an inspection by a division of
labor inspector before it is put back into use.
(2)
Safety order. If the
division of labor services inspector finds a code violation, the inspector will
issue a safety order requiring that the condition be corrected. The deadline
for correction of the code violation shall be set forth in the safety order. If
the inspector finds one or more code violations pertaining to more than
one-half of the seating capacity of an amusement ride, the amusement ride shall
not be operated until the violations are corrected. If code violations pertain
to one-half or less of the seating capacity of an amusement ride, the amusement
ride may be shut down at the discretion of the inspector.
(3)
Cessation order. If the
inspector identifies covered equipment that is hazardous or unsafe, the
inspector shall issue a cessation order. The commissioner shall establish that
the code violation is corrected before operation of the covered equipment is
resumed.
