When are inspections of slides and attractions usually conducted?

Inspections of slides and attractions are typically conducted daily, before a facility opens, to ensure the safety and functionality of the equipment. This daily routine allows staff to identify and address any issues—such as wear and tear, mechanical malfunctions, or safety hazards—before the attractions are made available to patrons. By performing inspections every day, operators can uphold safety standards and enhance the overall experience for guests, minimizing the risk of accidents and ensuring that all equipment is in optimal condition for use.

In contrast, while it might seem appropriate to conduct inspections monthly, at the end of a season, or in response to patron complaints, these approaches do not provide the same level of proactive safety management. Monthly inspections may overlook daily wear, end-of-season checks focus on long-term maintenance rather than immediate safety, and responding only to complaints might mean addressing issues reactively rather than preventing them altogether. This emphasizes the importance of routine inspections as part of a comprehensive safety strategy.
