Midway Safety
Safety is our Number 1 Priority!
At Bortner Shows Midway, safety is our top priority. All of our attractions are thoroughly inspected each day by our trained safety professionals to ensure they meet strict regulatory and licensing standards. In addition to daily on-site checks, our equipment is also reviewed by local and state inspectors. We are committed to providing rides that are well-lit, properly maintained, and always in safe operating condition.

During the winter months, all of our equipment undergoes thorough inspection and refurbishment at our dedicated winter quarters facility. Our team carefully examines each ride and performs all necessary maintenance to ensure everything is in top condition. Once the mechanical and electrical components are fully serviced, be sure to visit our "Shop" tab to see photos of the process in action.

Our Team!
At Bortner Shows Midway, employee training starts well before anyone is permitted to operate an attraction. All team members undergo pre-employment drug testing, with random testing conducted throughout the season to ensure a safe and responsible work environment. Every employee is fully certified to set up, operate, and take down each attraction, and is required to wear a company-branded shirt and name tag for easy identification. In addition, all staff must pass both state and FBI background checks. Our team follows a strict no-smoking policy and adheres to a comprehensive non-discrimination policy that embraces diversity and inclusion. We take pride in fostering a welcoming and respectful workplace for everyone.
