BS EN 1069-2:2010EN 1069-2:2010 (E) 4 Introduction The provision o
19、f water slide installations is increasing, also are the concerns over the number of injuries resulting from the use of water slides, many of which are of a serious nature. Many of the injuries have resulted from foreseeable circumstances and, given proper knowledge and control, could have been preve
20、nted. A standard or a code of practice for instructions and the operation of water slides is seen as the most appropriate way to achieve an improvement in safety. BS EN 1069-2:2010EN 1069-2:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard is applicable to water slides as defined in EN 1069-1:2010, 3.3. Thi
21、s European Standard establishes the instructions for use, operation and maintenance as well as the documentation and commissioning of water slides. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

28、uthority or person with overall control and responsibility for the water slide facility BS EN 1069-2:2010EN 1069-2:2010 (E) 6 3.2 platform area providing access to the start section 3.3 raft type of ride enhancement device for one or more users 4 Operation 4.1 General EN 15288-2 applies and EN 15288
29、-1 shall be considered if appropriate. The following subclauses give specific advice related to water slides. 4.2 Guidelines to the operational risk assessment An operational risk assessment shall be performed by the slide operator, based on the results of the design risk assessment, as a basis for
30、the identification of the proper supervision, following the requirements of EN 15288-2. In addition, and referring to the fact that impact between the users proved to be a critical issue, also the following risks shall be taken into consideration: a) inappropriate spacing at the start between users;
31、 b) sliding position (e.g. sitting) can bring the user to an involuntary stop; c) significant differences in speed can cause collisions of users; d) significant differences in speed caused by: 1) different sliding positions; 2) different bathing costume respectively wearing hardly any bathing costum
32、e (e.g. G-string type); 3) different fitness, size, weight and age of user; 4) changing water flow rate (malfunction of water supply); e) reasonably foreseeable risky behaviours by the users: 1) higher risk of collision between users at a splashdown area in contrast to a catch unit; f) suitability f
33、or children; g) foreseeable users categories (e.g. adults, children, both) and number of users (e.g. chain sliding allowed); h) allowed use of ride enhancement devices (e.g. mattresses, rafts). Examples of general and specific risk assessments are given in Annex B. 4.3 Risk reduction The operator sh
34、all take measures to reduce possible risks to a minimum bearing in mind the risky behaviours of users by choosing an appropriate level of distance control and supervision and shall identify a risk reduction strategy from the following options: BS EN 1069-2:2010EN 1069-2:2010 (E) 7 a) permanent full
35、supervision by the staff at the start section and at the splashdown area/catch unit, staff is in communication with each other; b) adequate technical distance control, e.g. turnstiles at the entrance and/or exit area and/or a traffic light control at the entrance; c) a proper level of supervision/te
36、chnical measures as a result of the risk assessment. Additional safety equipments which may be used: d) For the user: The installation of a monitor at the start section that transmits the situation at the end of the slide and at the catch unit/splashdown area for the person who is starting to see wh
37、ether the catch unit or the splashdown area of the pool is free. e) For the supervisory staff: The installation of a monitor at the staff terminal that transmits the situation at the start and the end of the slide and at the catch unit/splashdown area. The quality of technical distance control equip
38、ment depends on the risk assessment and should be carried out in accordance with EN ISO 13849-2. 4.4 Basic elements for the identification of proper supervision The operator, by performing the part of the risk assessment concerning proper supervision, shall take into account at least the following:
39、a) kind of landing: 1) catch unit; 2) sofa unit; 3) special pool and its water depth at landing; 4) general purpose pool and its water depth at landing; b) speed at the final part; c) presence and kind of distance control: 1) full technical distance control; 2) traffic lights; 3) other types; d) vis
40、ibility for the user: 1) slide fully visible from the start; 2) catch unit visible from the start; 3) pool visible from the start. The use of mandatory and prohibition signs and public information symbols should also be considered when determining the proper supervision to enforce them. BS EN 1069-2
41、:2010EN 1069-2:2010 (E) 8 4.5 Technical operation Written guidelines shall be produced concerning operational instructions by the operator paying particular attention to operational safety aspects (e.g. starting procedure, sliding speed of the users see EN 1069-1:2010, 7.13). These instructions shal
42、l comprise: detailed explanation of the controls and their function; recommended user access and egress procedures, exclusively allowed sliding positions and any limitations necessary to prevent static overload of the water slide; the prescribed limiting conditions stating any limitations for user,
43、the limits of speed of operation, the sliding time and the maximum numbers of user to be carried; emergency evacuation procedures; any environmental limitations, e.g. conditions of wind, rain, snow during which the water slide shall not be operated; details of the maintenance, service or repairs, qu
44、alification of the maintenance staff and specification about selection of proper spare parts. 4.6 Emergency instructions Written guidelines for emergency situations shall be produced for competent staff by the operator in association with the statutory authorities. 4.7 Incident logbook All incidents
45、, including accidents, occurring with the use of a slide shall be recorded, monitored and analysed regularly to ensure that the necessary improvement of the design, operation or maintenance of the slide are made in order to prevent accidents as far as possible in future. 5 Instructions for users 5.1
46、 Planning and use of signage It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to define and notify/supply the proper signage at the time of commissioning. Based on the results of the risk assessment the operator shall identify and install any possible additional signage pertinent to the safe use and ope
47、ration of the specific water slide. Where safety signs are required they shall be designed in accordance with ISO 3864-1 and ISO 3864-3, and safety signs from ISO 20712-1 and ISO 7010 used when applicable. In addition to any relevant graphical symbols from ISO 20712-1, ISO 7010 and ISO 7001, a list
48、of safety signs and information signs related to use of water slides is presented in Annex A. Relevant graphical symbols shall be assembled on multiple signs, see ISO 20712-3. Public information symbols shall be designed in accordance with ISO 22727 and public information symbols from ISO 7001 used
49、when applicable. A written supplementary text, in the language(s) of the country where the slide is installed shall be added possibly with translation into other language(s). The minimum supplementary text is shown below each graphical symbol (see figures in Annex A). The minimum text height of upper case letters shall be 15 mm. New graphical symbols additional to those given in this standard shall be designed in accordance with ISO 3864-1 and ISO 3864-3 for safety signs, and ISO
