			 vehicle, boat, or other mechanical or air supported device moving upon or
			 within a structure, along cables or rails, through the air by centrifugal force
			 or otherwise, or across water, that is used to convey one or more individuals

				normally require the supervision or services of an operator is not an amusement
				ride. Nonmechanized playground equipment including, but not limited to, swings,
				seesaws, stationary spring-mounted animal features, rider-propelled
				merry-go-rounds, climbers, slides, trampolines, and physical fitness devices

This rule requires you to have a method of communicating and
				  evaluating safety and health issues brought up by you or your employees in your
				  workplace. Larger employers
must
establish a safety committee.
				  Smaller employers have the choice of either establishing a safety committee or
				  holding safety meetings with a management representative present.
There is a difference between a safety committee and a safety
				  meeting.
* A safety committee is an organizational structure where
				  members represent a group. This gives everyone a voice but keeps the meeting
				  size to an effective number of participants.
* A safety meeting includes all employees and a management
				  person is there to ensure that issues are addressed. Typically, the safety
				  committee is an effective safety management tool for a larger employer and
				  safety meetings are more effective for a smaller employer.

You must establish a safety committee or hold safety
