Ski Lift Safety Standards

Ski lift safety standards ensure that lifts operate reliably and securely for passengers. These standards include regular maintenance and inspections, proper safety barriers and signage, trained personnel overseeing operation, and emergency procedures. Equipment must meet engineering and design criteria to prevent failures, and safety devices like restraining bars or automatic shut-offs are required. Passengers are advised to follow posted rules, stay seated, and use safety features provided. Overall, these standards aim to minimize risk, ensure safe boarding and riding, and respond effectively to emergencies, creating a safe environment for all skiers and riders.
