I would like to obtain a pdf file with all of the applicable state (and or federal) regulations that cover safety and maintenance on ski lifts in New Jersey.

It'd probably be best to contact the State department for transportation or the national department of transportation for info like that. Though i don't know if it' would be in PDF format they would be able to provide everything you are looking for.

You'll want to get a copy of the ANSI B77.1 code - do a web search and you'll find a place to purchase it.

hi, thank you for the help. I clicked on the link you provided and read the text. It focuses on amusement park rides. Do ski lifts fall into that category, or do more specific regulations exist? Should I read this text differently? I am not a professional in this area. thanks, again.

for what it is worth. Most of hte colorado ski areas shot down the idea for all lifts to have safety bars. (colorado tramway board). I personally don't think they prevent u from falling off the lift. If that is what they are trying to do they should just install the holds down that are used on roller coasters.....

That would probably go over less well.

That is amusing when I imagine it. I think that they can help prevent you falling off the lift to some degree, often provide a footrest, and aslo give some people peace of mind.

Isn't it odd that "politics" is made up of the word "poli" meaning many, and "tics" meaning blood-sucking creatures?
