International Theme Park Services, Inc. Provides Operational Safety Audit for the Cincinnati Zoo

June 10, 2010 - PRLog -- (Cincinnati, Ohio)  Mr. Shawn Haas, Vice President of International Theme Park Services, Inc. (“ITPS”) announced today the firm has signed a contract to provide a Ride Operations and Safety Audit for the Cincinnati Zoo.  

ITPS has been contracted to audit the operations of the Train, Carousel and Tram rides at the Cincinnati Zoo.  The Operational Safety Audit includes site visits to visually observe the operation and provide the Zoo with a detailed report with recommendations and guidance on enhancing the safety of the operation.  The audit also includes a full review of current training, maintenance and record-keeping procedures.  Operating manuals will be evaluated and revised to provide standardized policies and procedures.  

“The Ride Operations and Safety Audit is an important review that will allow the Zoo to gain a better understanding of their operations and the audit will provide enhancements to further ensure the safety of the Zoo’s visitors and employees,” remarked Mr. Haas.  

In 2005, the Zoo hired ITPS to develop the initial training program and operating manuals for the Train ride.  As part of this audit, ITPS will develop new manuals for the Tram and Carousel rides.  Haas said, “these new manuals will provide the Zoo with continuity in their rides training program and give their staff the proper tools to maintain the safest operation.”
