Operations shall conform to ANSI B77.1 and ANSI B77.1A-2012 and
ASTM F770-15, F1957-99(2011), F2007-12, F2137-15, F2374-10, F2375-09, F2376-13,
F2460-11, and F2959-14, as applicable. ASTM F2374-10 shall apply to all
air-supported structures notwithstanding the definition and use of the phrase
"inflatable amusement device" in ASTM F2374-10. The commissioner will enforce
the minimum age requirements set forth below rather than any minimum age
requirement set forth in a code adopted by reference in this rule.
(1)
Attendants. The operator
shall provide a sufficient number of competent, trained workers, who shall be
recognizable by their uniforms. Covered equipment shall have continuous, direct
supervision while in use by a patron.
a. Each
attendant of a concession booth, except a shooting gallery or dart game, shall
be at least 14 years of age. All other attendants shall be at least 16 years of
age.
b. Each attendant shall be
trained according to ANSI B77.1 and ANSI B77.1A-2012 and ASTM F770-15,
F2007-12, F2460-11, and F2959-14, as applicable. In addition, training must
cover procedures for normal operations and special operations specific to each
ride the attendant will control, specific duties for each assigned position for
each ride the attendant will control, and the operator's general procedures for
normal operations and special operations. Training documentation shall be
available to the commissioner.
c.
An attendant shall have control of the covered equipment when it is in
operation. When the covered equipment is shut down, provision shall be made to
prevent unauthorized operation.
(2)
Signal systems. When an
attendant does not have a clear view of the point where passengers are loaded
or unloaded, signal systems shall be provided and utilized for controlling,
starting and stopping covered equipment. Where coded signals are required, the
code of signals shall be printed and kept posted at both the attendant's
station and the location from which the signals are given. Attendants who use
the signals shall be trained in their use. Signal systems shall be tested each
day prior to operation of the covered equipment. Covered equipment that
requires a signal system shall not be operated if the system is not performing
correctly.
(3)
Overspeeding
and overloading. An attendant shall not load covered equipment beyond
its rated capacity nor operate the covered equipment at a speed other than that
prescribed by the design engineer or manufacturer.
(4)
Refueling. Fuel tanks
for internal combustion engines should be large enough to run without
interruption during normal operating hours. Where it is impossible to provide
tanks of proper capacity for a complete day's operation, the covered equipment
shall be shut down and evacuated during refueling.
(5)
Safety stop device.
After actuation of a safety stop device, the cause of the actuation shall be
determined and corrected before operation of covered equipment is resumed. No
person shall operate covered equipment if a safety stop device has been
bypassed.
