The New York State Department of Labor (DOL) inspects all rides at stationary parks outside of New York City at least once a year and inspects rides at traveling carnivals or fairs every time the ride is set up in a new location. A ride cannot legally operate without a permit from the DOL. Staff will demonstrate inspection procedures and tell the public what to look for to ensure that rides are safe.
