A Walt Disney Co. investor asked for a shareholder vote to require the biggest U.S. amusement-park operator to release records of all injuries at Disney parks for the last two years.

Disney would be required to disclose costs associated with park injuries under the resolution that Harrington Investment Inc. has requested, Harrington said in a statement.

“The safety of our guests is of paramount importance to the Walt Disney Co. and has always been one of the cornerstones of the operating practices and philosophy of our theme parks and resorts business,” spokeswoman Christine Castro said Monday. The company will contact Harrington to address procedures for introducing a shareholder resolution, she said.
