ABSTRACT

There is something that is curiously beguiling about most of the attractions that make up the present day leisure industry. They have elements of surprise, excitement and mystery together with their often unique transient nature to be sampled today, or gone tomorrow. They are intended to transport their participants from the familiar to new sensations and excitement. Ensuring the safety of these events is a whole range of environmental health controls that mainly go unnoticed until some serious mishap occurs.
