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.
