Playground, Amusement Park and Water Park Inspection and Certification

Accidents in amusement parks are often linked to operator negligence and inadequate maintenance. To ensure the safety and reliability of rides, it is essential to carry out regular maintenance, periodic inspections, risk assessments, and qualified operations. Through design compliance, routine inspections, and continuous operator training, amusement park owners can greatly reduce risks and safeguard both visitors and employees.

The Key Aspects for Amusement Ride Safety are as below:

  • Design Review – Verify structural, mechanical, electrical, and control system integrity in line with international standards.
  • Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) – Inspect manufacturing quality and test control/electrical systems at the factory.
  • Construction – Ensure rides are built according to approved safe designs.
  • Site Acceptance Test (SAT) – Test and verify rides before opening to the public.
  • Maintenance – Provide regular upkeep to ensure safety and reliability.
  • Operation – Ensure operators follow procedures and riders comply with safety rules.
  • Risk & Technical Assessment – Conduct assessments to identify and mitigate hazards.
