Current through June, 2024
(a) All electrical
						wiring, equipment, and apparatus used for amusement rides or for lighting shall
						be properly and legally installed, operated, and maintained, as required by
						NFPA 70 and local ordinances.
(b)
						No employee shall be suffered or permitted to work in such proximity to any
						part of electrical power circuits that the employee may contact the same in the
						course of the work unless protected against shock by de-energizing the circuit,
						grounding it, or guarding it by effective insulation. If protection is supplied
						by de-energizing the circuit, the switch controlling the circuit shall be
						locked out to prevent inadvertent closing.
(c) The outlets of electric power lines
						carrying more than 120 volts shall be clearly marked to show their
						voltage.
(d) All electric
						transformer sub-stations shall be properly enclosed and proper warning signs
						shall be posted.
(e) Electrical
						apparatus and wiring located outdoors shall be of such quality and so
						constructed or protected that exposure to weather will not interfere with its
						normal operation or endanger life or property.
(f) Elevated power lines crossing access or
						other roads within the grounds of the carnival, circus, fair, amusement parks,
						or other areas where the amusement rides are located shall be so suspended as
						to provide minimum vertical clearance of 12 feet (3.6 m) from the road surface
						and minimum horizontal clearance of 3 feet (90 cm) from each side of the normal
						passage space of vehicles.
(g)
						Wiring laid on or under surfaces traversed by vehicular or pedestrian traffic
						shall be adequately protected against wear and abrasion. Buried cables shall be
						Type UF as required by Article 339 of NFPA 70.
(h) Temporary electric wiring if suspended
						shall be so supported that its protective insulation will not be
						damaged.
(i) All electrical
						installations shall be properly grounded. All electrical cords shall be of the
						heavy duty type and shall contain an identifying grounding conductor in
						addition to the current-carrying conductors. The size of grounding conductor
						shall comply with Table 250-94 of NFPA 70.
(j) Bare wires and other uninsulated
						current-carrying parts shall be guarded against accidental contact by means of
						proper location or by a fence or other barrier.
(k) Conductors shall be provided with
						over-current protective devices according to load and current-carrying
						capacity. No such device shall be installed on neutral or grounding
						conductors.
(l) Where electrical
						power is supplied for an amusement ride by a privately operated generating
						system, the generator and all equipment shall be properly grounded if the
						system incorporates a ground.
(m)
						All receptacles and attachment caps shall be of the grounding type.
(n) Each electrically powered amusement ride
						shall be effectively grounded. The grounding shall be made effective as to all
						non-currentcarrying metal parts which may become energized and which are
						exposed to contact by any person.
(o) Each electrically operated amusement ride
						not designed to be controlled directly by the passenger shall be provided with
						a disconnect power switch placed within easy reach of the operator.
