Risk: Failure of Ride Machinery
Persons at risk: Members of the public, Staff employed at Pleasurewood Hills, Contractors.
Control: It has to be accepted that it is possible for rides to 'malfunction' whilst operating normally. Rides are inspected daily by on-site engineers employed by Pleasurewood Hills to ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, they are fit for in use service for members of the public. However, in the event of a ride shutdown, all systems will go into a safe mode of operation. In this event, to ensure the safety of all persons concerned, it is deemed necessary that all members of the public follow all directions that we give without fail. PWH will be totally responsible for any evacuation that is deemed necessary including use of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and instruction in use.
Rides are also inspected annually by an expert team of external engineers who are tasked by Pleasurewood Hills to conduct a thorough test of all rides and attractions on the site. This includes complete strip and test of parts using various methods from Fluorescent Dye Penetration to Ultrasonic Inspections. This company issue DOC's (Declaration of Operation Compliance) for every ride or attraction. These are valid for a period of no more than 14 months from the date of issue.
Risk: Stuck by a moving device
Persons at risk: Members of the public, Staff employed at Pleasurewood Hills, Contractors.
Control: It is deemed that all persons who attend the site are responsible for their own safety at all times. Our rides are all guarded as required by law and as such, persons who are not responsible for their own safety should be assigned a 'carer' who will ensure that they are supervised at all times during their visit. Persons deemed to be entering a restricted area will do so at their own risk. |
