Free Redundant Lights
Wed, 16 Dec 2009, 11:12 pmNow that Oliver Twist is finished and we have to move out it is a good time to go through our redundant equipment. If anyone is interested, there are about 18 assorted lights - mostly patt 23, fresnels and a couple of small floods - that are FREE to anyone that wants them. Most of these lights were in use until mid year.
PLEASE NOTE: They are fairly old (I think most date from when the theatre started in the 60's) and in varying degrees of poor condition, including broken locking nuts, stiff gates, etc. Lens & mirrors are still excellent & intact, though could do with a good clean. The plugs have also been removed, so if you want them you'll need to have them rewired and safety checked.
If you're interested come down to the Princess May Building (cnr Cantonment & Parry st, Fremantle) on Saturday morning, 19th December, from 9:30am. We could also do with more hands to help with dismantling the stage and proscenium too :)

Responsibility for electrical safety
Thu, 24 Dec 2009, 09:00 amThe Employer is responsible for electrical safety in the workplace:
SA Safework - introduction - http://www.safework.sa.gov.au/contentPages/docs/resElectGuidelinespdf.pdf
Qld - Employers and self-employed people must also ensure electrical equipment is maintained in a safe condition as part of fulfilling their obligations under the Electrical Safety Act 2002 (PDF, 788 KB). - http://www.deir.qld.gov.au/electricalsafety/workaround/electsafety/index.htm
All states have the same regs, just worded differently.
So for community theatres, the committee is responsible for electrical safety and the individual is responsible for their own actions.
