4. Conduct on-site visits in response to accidents or situations of non-compliance and perform research within the designated area to locate non-compliant amusement device companies.
5. Maintain a thorough understanding of laws and regulations governing the operation of amusement devices and their impact on public safety and assess the compliance status of owners/operators by researching state websites, assigned territories, and other resources.
