Legal Environment
Safety requirements generally include fire suppression systems, clearly marked exits, warning signs and panic systems. Warning signs usually warn customers about heavy fog, intense strobes, loud sounds and music, crawling and stress that people who are pregnant, disabled or have a heart condition should not enter. Most attractions must be inspected by local authorities to confirm that they comply with codes. Another important aspect in terms of legal issues is insurance. Although many haunted attraction owners may not think about this aspect it is important to have insurance in case someone is hurt at the event.

Famous quotes containing the words legal and/or environment:
“We should stop looking to law to provide the final answer.... Law cannot save us from ourselves.... We have to go out and try to accomplish our goals and resolve disagreements by doing what we think is right. That energy and resourcefulness, not millions of legal cubicles, is what was great about America. Let judgment and personal conviction be important again.”
—Philip K. Howard, U.S. lawyer. The Death of Common Sense: How Law Is Suffocating America, pp. 186-87, Random House (1994)
“In a land which is fully settled, most men must accept their local environment or try to change it by political means; only the exceptionally gifted or adventurous can leave to seek his fortune elsewhere. In America, on the other hand, to move on and make a fresh start somewhere else is still the normal reaction to dissatisfaction and failure.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
