Ohio State Fair puts new safety guidelines to test after teenager’s death, reports MorganTrau
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio State Fair kicks off this week at full capacity for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and ride safety is top of mind since Tyler's Law took effect.
"Tyler’s Law, which was a bill signed after 2017, really raises the level of safety standards for the amusement ride safety industry here in the state of Ohio," ODA Chief of the Division of Amusement Ride Safety and Fairs David Miran said. There are also new minimums for the number of inspections and inspectors for each ride type, according to ODA."It establishes protocols for ride owners to complete fatigue and corrosion reviews and inspections based on the categories of rides," he said.
"Every subsequent inspection that we do here at the department, those two inspectors are required to be there again," Miran said."Over the last year and a half, our division has really worked diligently with ride owners to make sure that there's been a smooth transition so that ride owners and ride companies understand the requirements of Tyler's Law."
