purpose of the amusement industry seminar is to provide
safety education and information, and to promote safety
awareness for operations, maintenance, manufacturing,
and inspection personnel who work with theme parks, carnivals,
water parks, family entertainment centers or amusement
parks.

SAFETY
TIPS FOR PARENTS |
To
ensure the safety of a child, particularly
a small child, several steps should be taken.
Before placing the child on an amusement ride,
a parent relying on his or her knowledge of
their child's capabilities should assume an
active role in determining whether or not
a particular ride is appropriate for the child.
|
Common
Sense Steps May Make the Difference
-
WATCH the ride in operation and
make sure your child can ride it safely.
- OBSERVE
the operator.
|
- EXPLAIN
to the child about appropriate behavior:
keeping hands and feet inside, sitting down,
holding on, and obeying the ride operator's
instructions.
- DO
NOT force your child to ride if
he or she is frightened. A scared child on
the ground may well panic in the air.
|
| CARNIVAL
AND FAIRS GENERAL SAFETY |
The following tips will help keep your family's
trip
to the park, fair, or carnival an enjoyable experience. |
-
Designate an easily recognizable place to
meet your child in the case of separation
in a crowd.
-
Because it is difficult to control children
in such an exciting environment, try to have
an adult supervise every two children.
|
- Wear
sensible clothes and shoes.
Carnivals and fairs are usually on rough ground
and because it is a temporary situation cables
and hoses are laid on top of the ground and
so the whole area is a small obstacle course.
