Rule 875-61.4 - Inspections

Pursuant to Iowa Code chapter 88A, covered equipment must pass an inspection at least annually. Inspections will be performed according to the rules set forth and standards adopted in 875-Chapters 61 to 63.

(1)Inspection types. In addition to the inspections listed below, an inspection may be conducted by the commissioner at any time. The fee schedule for annual inspections set forth in Iowa Code section 88A.4 shall apply to all inspections performed by division of labor services inspectors. No person shall operate covered equipment at a fair or carnival unless the covered equipment has passed an inspection in the current calendar year.

a.Annual inspection by owner. At the discretion of the commissioner, the owner of an air-supported structure may be designated by the commissioner to perform the annual inspection of the owner's air-supported structure, blower, and related electrical equipment. An owner designated pursuant to this paragraph shall perform the inspection according to applicable standards. The owner shall submit in the format required by the commissioner an affidavit attesting to the performance of the inspection, correction of code violations, and other required information. A designation pursuant to this paragraph shall terminate on December 31 of the year of issuance.

b.Annual inspection by a division of labor services inspector. Unless an inspection is waived pursuant to Iowa Code section 88A. 13, or the inspection is performed by the owner pursuant to paragraph 61.4(1)"a," a division of labor services inspector shall inspect covered equipment prior to operation.

c.Major modification inspection. After covered equipment has undergone a major modification, the covered equipment must pass an inspection by a division of labor inspector before it is put back into use.

(2)Safety order. If the division of labor services inspector finds a code violation, the inspector will issue a safety order requiring that the condition be corrected. The deadline for correction of the code violation shall be set forth in the safety order. If the inspector finds one or more code violations pertaining to more than one-half of the seating capacity of an amusement ride, the amusement ride shall not be operated until the violations are corrected. If code violations pertain to one-half or less of the seating capacity of an amusement ride, the amusement ride may be shut down at the discretion of the inspector.

(3)Cessation order. If the inspector identifies covered equipment that is hazardous or unsafe, the inspector shall issue a cessation order. The commissioner shall establish that the code violation is corrected before operation of the covered equipment is resumed.
