ADIPS is delighted to announce a new agreement with Universal Verification to develop and peer review new and revamped technical and incident updates for the amusement industry’s inspection bodies and controllers.
Universal Verification is a team of consultants that provides a range of independent management systems auditing, engineering inspection, technical assistance, verification and certification services to a plethora of industries, including amusements.
The company is a member of BALPPA (British Association of Leisure Parks, Piers & Attractions), has actively participated on the ADIPS registration panel and performed reviews on proposed Inspection Bodies, providing detailed feedback, guidance and support throughout the registration process. It now teams up with ADIPS to peer review and develop a new system of technical and incident updates.
The new system will take information from a range of sources, such as NAFLIC and Health and Safety Executive (HSE), and publish them in four colour-coded categories:
- Safety Alert – for your immediate consideration
- Technical Bulletin – containing technical information
- Safety Bulletin – contains safety critical information
- Incident Bulletin – holds information about an incident
ADIPS General Manager Carl Hagemann said: “ADIPS took the best aspects from international research and devised a system that we’re confident will give the industry clarity and ease of use. IBs will be clearly told where information comes from and the specific safety issues each alert or bulletin covers. Various sources will be used and the updates will address different needs based on the risks to owners, operators and members of the public.
“We plan to develop an area of our website in which users can search for specific content. This will help IBs when they create docs, for example. We’re delighted to be working on the updates with Universal Verification, who bring a wealth of experience and technical expertise.”
Universal Verification Principal Consultant Marcus Brian said: ”Universal Verification LTD are extremely happy to be involved in the development and peer review process for the new ADIPS Bulletin system. We hope that this will further improve the communication of important safety and technical issues for the ADIPS community and in turn drive forward standards across the industry for the benefit of all stakeholders.
“The peer review section of the bulletins is intended to clarify what recommended action, if any, should be taken by IB’s and/or controllers in relation to each bulletin and the four new bulletin formats seek to ensure a better understanding as to the nature of each issue and also provide a consistent structure to the bulletins for ease of reference.”
More technical bulletins will be published by ADIPS in collaboration with Universal Verification in the coming weeks. Currently, all updates are freely available on the ADIPS website.
