CHAPTER
Saf-C 1400 CARNIVAL-AMUSEMENT RULES (RSA
321-A:2)
REVISION NOTE #1:
Document #5607, effective 4-2-93,
adopted rules relative to bungee jumping.
Document #5607 contains a new part numbered Saf-C 1410 and new and
amended rules in Saf-C 1401. The
insertion of the new rules in Saf-C 1401 required the renumbering editorially
of most of the new and existing rules in Saf-C 1401. The text of the existing rules in Saf-C 1401
was not included in Document #5607, and therefore the effective dates for these
existing rules remain unchanged by Document #5607.
Document #5445, effective 8-12-92,
contained emergency rules relative to bungee jumping, but these emergency rules
EXPIRED: 12-10-92. Document #5445
contained new and amended rules in Saf-C 1401 and a new part numbered Saf-C
1410.
REVISION
NOTE #2:
Document #10507, effective 1-21-14,
adopted rules in Saf-C 1400 which had expired and readopted or readopted with
amendments other existing rules in Saf-C 1400.
Those rules with source notes which indicate that the rules or selected
paragraphs had expired 1-2-14 had provisions which had been subject to
extension pursuant to RSA 541-A:14-a, I past their normal expiration date of
4-28-13. They had expired pursuant to
RSA 541-A:14-a, II and III(a) because the rules had not been adopted by the
Department of Safety within 30 days after the agency was allowed to adopt under
RSA 541-A:14, I.

surfaces that might produce undesirable contact for the riders of the carnival
or ride;
(2) The reasonably foreseeable changes that are
likely to occur in the location or nature of the surroundings;
(3) Site to be free from large rocks, debris or
any holes; and
(4) Site to be sufficiently level to provide safe
operation of the ride or device.
(b) Conductors shall have a vertical clearance to
ground in accordance with Article 525.5 of the National Electrical Code, NFPA
70, 2017 edition published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), as adopted
pursuant to RSA 155-A:1 and as amended by the building code review board and

installed outside of tents and concessions.
(c) Amusement rides or devices shall be
maintained not less than 4.5 m (15 ft) in any direction from overhead
conductors operating at 600 volts or less, except for the conductors supplying
the amusement ride or device. Amusement
rides or devices shall not be located under or within 4.5 m (15 ft)
horizontally and extending vertically to grade of conductors operating in
excess of 600 volts.
