Fun fairs lack safety measures, says EIT
The Engineering Institute of Thailand (EIT) is urging government agencies to improve safety measures for amusement equipment at mobile fun fairs, saying 60% of them operate without basic safety standards. The safety standards of mobile fun fairs or carnivals have been overlooked even though they directly affect children, said Channarong Waiyapoj, chairman of the EIT's safety engineering subcommittee."We should protect our children from accidents when they play at mobile fun fairs. If we leave it too late, it will like closing the stable doors after the horse has bolted," he said.
