- Inspect all fire extinguisher and safety equipment. Although part of this may be outsourced, fires and accidents can occur at any time. Vendors can be scheduled using a CMMS system.
- Many amusement parks have animals or zoos. Habitat inspections can prevent a loss of animal life should heat pumps fail or barriers corrode.
- All safety lighting should be in working order.
- Every year there seems to be a fatal fire where it is later found that the emergency exits were locked or did not work. Inspect to make sure doors and windows function as they are supposed to.
