Section 27-1006. Accidents


Latest version.
  • The owner or person in charge of the equipment or
      devices  listed  in article one of this subchapter shall promptly notify
      the commissioner of  every  accident  involving  injury  to  any  person
      requiring  the  services  of  a  physician  or  damage to property or to
      apparatus exceeding one hundred dollars on, about, or in connection with
      such equipment, and shall afford the  commissioner  every  facility  for
      investigating  such  accident  or damage. The commissioner shall make an
      investigation immediately thereafter,  and  shall  prepare  a  full  and
      complete  report of such investigation. Such report shall give in detail
      all material facts and information available and the cause or causes  as
      far  as  they  can  be  determined.  Such report shall be open to public
      inspection at all  reasonable  hours.  When  an  accident  involves  the
      failure  or  destruction  of  any  part of the construction or operating
      mechanism of such equipment, no such equipment shall be  used  until  it
      has  been  made  safe,  and  re-inspected  by  the commissioner; and the
      commissioner may order the discontinuance of such equipment until a  new
      use  permit  has been issued by him or her for its use. No part shall be
      removed from the premises  of  the  damaged  construction  or  operating
      mechanism   until   permission   to  do  so  has  been  granted  by  the
      commissioner.
