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:
“The steps toward the emancipation of women are first intellectual, then industrial, lastly legal and political. Great strides in the first two of these stages already have been made of millions of women who do not yet perceive that it is surely carrying them towards the last.”
—Ellen Battelle Dietrick, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 13, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“For those parents from lower-class and minority communities ... [who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
