Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) "Amusement
						ride" means a mechanical device which carries or conveys passengers along,
						around, or over a fixed or restricted route or course for the purpose of giving
						its passengers amusement, pleasure, thrills, or excitement. "Amusement ride"
						includes the business of operating bungee jumping services or providing
						services to facilitate bungee jumping, but does not include slides, playground
						equipment, coin-operated devices or conveyances which operate directly on the
						ground or on the surface or pavement directly on the ground or the operation of
						amusement devices of a permanent nature. The division shall determine the
						specific devices which are amusement rides for the purposes of this part. This
						determination shall be made to apply equally to all operators of similar or
						identical rides and shall be made pursuant to a procedure promulgated by the
						standards board.
(b) "Authorized
						person" is a competent person, experienced and instructed in the work to be
						performed and who has been given the responsibility to perform his duty by the
						owner or his representative.
(c)
						"Division." The Division of Industrial Safety of the Department of Industrial
						Relations of the State of California.
(d) "Public entity." Any city or
						county.
(e) "Registered engineer."
						An engineer qualified under the Civil and Professional Engineers Act (Chapter
						7, commencing with Section
						6700 of Division 3 of the Business
						and Professions Code, State of California).
(f) "Permit." An annual safety permit to
						operate an amusement ride, issued by the Division or by a public entity after
						an inspection of the ride.
(g)
						"Certification of Inspection." An original certificate issued by the Division
						or by a public entity after certification in writing by a registered engineer
						that the amusement ride meets the requirements established by the Division for
						amusement rides. The certificate of inspection shall remain in force until
						voided by a modification of the ride.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
						For new model rides and for all existing models of rides for which this
						information may be requested, manufacturers, fabricators, or ride [The next
						page is 647.] owner/operators shall furnish stress analysis or other pertinent
						data deemed necessary by the Division. Such stress analysis or other data
						pertinent to the design, structure, factors of safety, or performance
						characteristics shall be in such detail as to be acceptable to the Division.
						When such data on a particular ride is acceptable to the Division, it shall be
						deemed to apply to all rides of the same make and model where there have been
						no modifications.
(b) When no
						engineering calculations are available from the manufacturer or fabricator on a
						particular ride and when experience has been insufficient to warrant
						acceptance, the Division may require the owner/operator to furnish a structural
						analysis signed by a registered engineer.
NOTE: In evaluating rides where specific engineering
						  specification data is lacking, the Division may not require a structural
						  analysis on slow moving rides such as, but not limited to, merry-go-rounds and
						  kiddie rides where the basic design has been proven safe through years of
						  operation. A permit to operate, however, will be required.

						self-powered and that are operated by passengers shall have the driving
						mechanism so guarded and the guards so secured in place as to prevent
						passengers from gaining access to the mechanism. The "Dodge-Em" type of ride
						shall have the overhead screening free from holes that will catch the power
						conducting device and allow it to hang-up or cause a whipping action of the
						device.
(c) Belts, bars, footrests,

						  prevent shifting or tipping. Sandbags may be used on cement surfaces. Use of
						  shim blocks shall be kept to a minimum. Depressions in the ground near the ride
						  footings shall be filled and tamped and adequate means of drainage provided to
						  prevent water from collecting and softening supporting areas in case of rain.
						  The area surrounding the ride shall be cleared and kept free from trash and
						  tripping hazards.

						operations.
(b) Where an operator
						attends one or more process machines not having individual drive each machine
						shall be equipped with a stopping device which can be safely actuated from the
						operator's working position at the machine. Such a stopping device may stop an
						entire group of machines by stopping the prime mover power transmission or it
						may be a machine clutch, cut-off coupling, or tight and loose pulley with belt
						shifter which can stop all the machine operations at any time on any machine.
						Pole or hand shifting of belts is not considered adequate means for
						disconnecting the power.
EXCEPTION: Where due to the process, machines must be
						  operated in groups, the machine power control may stop the entire group of
						  machines. Such group drives shall be provided with conveniently located,
						  readily accessible, and properly marked or otherwise identified stop
						  stations.
(c) Each process
						machine simultaneously attended or operated by more than one employee shall be

						operation of machine, unless all controls are operated simultaneously. Controls
						for more than one operating station shall be designed to be activated and
						deactivated in complete sets of two operator's hand controls per operating
						station by means capable of being supervised by the employer.

						  similar light machines are operated by shafting under the machine table, such
						  shafting shall be in compliance when the shafting is 20 inches or more
