Who approves contractor work in the park?

• A. The safety manager or facilities management following the contractor management policy.
• B. The ride operator.
• C. The maintenance technician.
• D. The public relations manager.

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that contractor work in a park is governed by safety and facilities oversight. The person who approves such work is the safety manager or facilities management, and they do so by following the contractor management policy. This ensures any contractor task is planned, reviewed for risk, and coordinated with ongoing park operations. They check that proper permits, risk assessments, and method statements are in place, align the work with maintenance and safety standards, and confirm how the work will be safely executed without creating new hazards or disrupting critical rides.

The ride operator isn’t in a position to approve contractor work because their role is to run rides and respond to operational needs, not authorize external contractor activities. The maintenance technician may participate in the work, but approval authority rests with safety or facilities leadership. The public relations manager handles communications and public messaging, not safety or work permissions.
