Safety Safety is our number
1 priority
Safety is an attitude and is our first priority in everything we do. We enforce
a drug free work policy, and our employees must go through an extensive training
program before working for Fantasy Amusement Company.
Inspection
Every operating day prior to opening, each ride is inspected by
the operator and re-inspected by our Safety Coordinator. Each week we hold a
Safety Meeting to reinforce, refresh, and go over any updates or concerns of our
safety policies.
Training
All operators are trained and receive a
rating based on their training level. Our training guidelines are as set forth
by the O.A.B.A.
Safety Assurance
We want you to be fully confident with Fantasy Amusement
Company, Inc. attitudes concerning safety. We set ourselves apart from our
competition simply because we employ the services of a professional safety inspector.
The inspectors responsibilities include inspecting all the equipment routinely
and conducting training sessions for our employees. This is all in addition to
our weekly inspections in each community, plus state inspections and our
daily pre-opening inspections.
Bill Johnson was one of the first members of NARRSO and is a member of ASTM.
Fantasy Amusement Company was awarded the Circle of Excellence by the OABA and
we have sent staff members to NARRSO training
Each year all of our equipment is inspected by the Illinois Department of Labor,
State of Indiana and the City of Chicago prior to opening the season, and then
periodically when ever the State chooses. In addition each week our equipment is
inspected by the city or town we are working in prior to opening, plus we
ourselves do a daily pre-opening inspection. All of our ride personnel have been
trained by a Safety Consultant on safety, operations and maintenance. Each year
we provide these seminars for our operators; to refresh our returning employees
and to educate the newer people. These seminars are held several times during
each season.
Our Maintenance program is continually being revised and
reviewed. Our equipment costs are so high, it is in our best interests to make sure we
keep everything properly maintained. After setup each week, a full day is used
just for maintenance and to make sure that the rides are not only performing
correctly; they are cleaned and polished so they look great too! A daily
maintenance routine is performed prior to opening each day. This
maintenance is confirmed during our daily pre-opening inspection.
In addition to being inspected and
maintained by trained personnel, our equipment is regularly inspected by our
insurance carrier. Our equipment is
also subject to various inspection programs involving non-destructive test
methods such as Ultra Sound Testing, Magna flux Particle Testing and
various x-ray testing of hidden components. All inspections are welcomed because
they have helped us obtain our high safety rating. We are proud
of the fact that Fantasy Amusement Company, Inc. has always been rated
as one of the safest amusement companies in our area.
Our warehouse facility is located in
Peotone, Illinois. . There we have 5 acres of land consisting of 2 buildings.
One building of 10,000 square feet is devoted to maintenance and repairs. Every
ride is brought in and gone through repairing and/or replacing everything needed
from the light bulbs to total refurbishing; whatever is needed is done. Each
ride looks and operates like its brand new after going through winter quarters.
There is also a storage building to keep the rides out of the elements in the
off season.
Saferparks Kids Club
The Saferparks Kids Club gives kids and parents a fun way to learn about ride
safety before visiting an amusement park or carnival.
