J 16 / NOVEMBER.DECEMBER.2020 USICERINKS.COM , Ice resurfacers are com- plicated pieces of equip- ment that present a vari- ety of risks and hazards if operated by untrained persons. The ORFA/U.S. Ice Rink Association Alliance recommends that this equipment only be operated by properly trained individuals who are employed within the ice rink industry. The Alliance strongly recom- mends that any use for "personal experience" or "enjoyment" is considered an unacceptable use of this type of equipment. Examples of activities include: ice resurfacer "schools", "camps" or "driving experiences" which are generally mar- keted to the public and which are of particular concern. The ORFA/U.S. Ice Rink Association Alliance fur- ther wish to remind all ice rink operators of industry best practices associated with the safe operation of any ice resurfacer: • All ice resurfacer manufacturers recom- mend "no riders". • All new drivers complete the Safe Ice Resurfacer Operator (SIRO) introductory train- ing and/or the advanced Ice Maintenance and Equipment Operations (IMEO) course which would include the rec- ommended review of all applicable manufacturer owner manual informa- tion and related medias associated with safe ice resurfacer operations before taking care and control of any ice resur- facing equipment.
