Safety in employment: ski resorts.

Existing law specifies the requirements for obtaining a license for and operating a passenger aerial tramway. It also requires the Division of Occupational Safety and Health within the Department of Industrial Relations to conduct inspections of aerial tramways at specified intervals. This bill would require the division to utilize the most current safety standards when inspecting aerial passenger tramways operated at ski resorts. This bill would also require ski resorts to file an annual safety plan with the division, make the safety plan available on demand, report to the division within 24 hours any fatalities involving patrons at the resort, and standardize safety signage and equipment padding in use at the resort.
