Programs described in its return (1)
- $634,214 spent. We offered a week-long annual amusement industry Safety Seminar held during the second week in January. The Safety Seminar focused on safety education for industry employees in the fields of ride inspection, maintenance, operations and aquatics. Students attend classes from 8am to 5pm each day, choosing from multiple classes offered each hour, resulting in 40 hours of classroom and hands on training for the week. More than 125 volunteer instructors who are industry professionals participate in the training and education of approximately 450 students who attend the seminar coming from the US and as many as 16 other countries. We also hosted an online learning management program with approximately 40 on-demand safety education courses offered. The program continued to improve in quality and is highly regarded in the amusement industry. The training offered at the annual seminar has led to a safer amusement industry.
