Entertainment areas and amusement parks are places where not only children but also people of all ages go and enjoy themselves. Majority of the activities in these places are electric and electronic devices that work with electricity. In this regard, all the machines and equipments that are made available to the people should be inspected and inspected at regular intervals so that the people going to have fun are not exposed to any danger or encounter any risky situation.

Most of the time, it is amazed how the accidents that are the subject of the news and how the concerned people have not taken adequate security measures. In order to prevent loss of life and property, entertainment areas and amusement parks should be examined and reports issued by the authorized institutions.

Especially with the beautiful weather, the amusement park and entertainment areas are filled. In addition, even in limited spaces, such entertainment areas are organized. These recreational areas, which are opened to the operation without the necessary maintenance, are not subject to regular checks and inspections on a daily and monthly basis and run by untrained personnel, are of great danger.

The opening and operation of all recreational areas and amusement parks, whether open or closed, are carried out by municipalities within the framework of legal regulations for licensing and opening workplaces. In accordance with these regulations, occupational health and safety principles should also be followed. These areas are classified as dangerous workplaces under the law. In this respect, it is necessary to determine that employees are suitable for the job, to be trained and experienced, to be knowledgeable about the hazards of these workplaces, to make risk analyzes related to the machinery and equipment used, to identify possible hazards and to take necessary security measures for these hazards. In addition, the necessary maintenance that the machinery and equipment used are safe must be systematically carried out.

As a matter of fact, in the entertainment areas, circuses and amusement parks, an engineer and technician who is responsible for the control and maintenance of the entire game and entertainment machines should be employed.

In practice, it is known that security audits to be carried out by the municipalities are not carried out at sufficient frequency and level. It is also a fact that only controls during the issuance of a work permit are not sufficient. Otherwise, there would be no accidents. Municipalities have great responsibility in this regard.

Authorized test and inspection organizations also perform recreational area inspections within the scope of environmental inspections. A few standards considered during these studies are:

• TS EN 13814 Machines and structures used in amusement parks and playgrounds - Security
• TSE CEN / TR 16879 Site selection at playgrounds and other entertainment facilities - Recommendations for arrangement and separation methods
• TS EN 1176-4 Playground elements and floor arrangements - Part 4: Additional special safety rules and test methods for rope paths
• TS EN 1177 Playgrounds - Ground arrangements reducing impact impact - Determination of critical fall height
• TS EN 60335-2-82 Safety regulations - For household electrical appliances - Part 2-82: Particular requirements for service and entertainment machines
