Walt Disney World – ORLANDO – workplace injury – OSHA

ORLANDO – The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) cited Walt Disney World and urged them to follow monorail manufacturer operating instructions warning of potential hazards when moving the monorail in reverse. The manufacturer recommends using a spotter to watch a train backing up. The federal agency also urged Disney to provide written instruction and training for monorail console operators and to make sure a coordinator is in a control tower when directing monorail operations.

According to the resort’s chief safety officer, Disney World already has taken many of the steps recommended by OSHA.
