Colorado Oil and Public Safety Issue Guidance on COVID-19 Operation Plans

The Colorado Division of Oil and Public Safety which is responsible for commercial amusement device permits has issued its Second Quarter 2020 Bulletin.

The bulletin outlines key information about operating commercial zip lines and adventure parks in Colorado. This includes a statement describing changes in the operation procedures on an amusement device as major modifications. In correspondence with the state office, they confirmed that lowering group size would on a tour or the total capacity of an adventure park would not be a major modification. You can see this as just operating as if all days are low enrollment days.

This is important. IF you are only changing the size of the groups on the course or the number of people who can be in your park at one time, you do not need to notify OPS. However, if you are making other changes, you will need to reach out to OPS.
