An employee at Gröna Lund was injured when she was going to pick up a lost mobile phone at a roller coaster.
The Work Environment Agency now demands that Gröna Lund investigate the accident.
At the end of June, a 35-year-old woman died and several others were injured when the Jetline train partially derailed. Just over a week ago, another accident occurred when an employee at the amusement park was injured in connection with retrieving a mobile phone that someone had dropped from a roller coaster.
The female employee is said to have been given the green light to enter the area, but was injured when the cart entered the area. She is said to have been hit by the seat belt pretensioner or by a passenger’s leg, but it is still unclear. She should not have been hit by the carriage, also called the gondola.
The woman suffered a slight concussion from the impact, but should be fine today, according to Gröna Lund’s acting information manager Max Lagerbäck.
Risks ban
The Work Environment Agency now demands that Gröna Lund investigate the accident and what may have caused it. The Swedish Work Environment Authority writes that the purpose of the investigation is to prevent something similar from happening again:
“If you do not investigate the causes, you may not discover risks, or you may misinterpret causal relationships. This can lead to you missing serious risks, or to not taking sufficient measures to prevent similar events. Then the risks can lead to your employees falling ill or being injured at work,” the decision states.
– It is a standard writing. We are the ones who have reported this to the Work Environment Agency, says Max Lagerbäck.
Gröna Lund has until July 28 to submit the answer to the Work Environment Agency. If Gröna Lund does not remedy the deficiencies that the authority has pointed out, the amusement park risks a ban or injunction.
