Amusement Ride Inspections
The Division of Labor inspects
amusement rides and concessions at least once annually to assure
compliance with state rules. In 2006, the Division of Labor issued
142 permits and conducted 1,360 inspections.
An operator must obtain a permit from the labor commissioner before
operating any amusement device or ride, concession both or any related
electrical equipment in Iowa.
Effective February 7, 2007, the
administrative rule governing electrical disconnect switches changed. The new rule reads as follows:
62.2(9) Master Switch.
Each electrically operated amusement device shall be provided with a
fused disconnect switch or circuit breaker placed within unobstructed
reach of the ride operator. This subrule shall not apply to
blowers for inflatable rides or to devices designed to be controlled
directly by the public.
