Free Redundant Lights

Now 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 :) Ciao Rob Tagliaferri Harbour Theatre

Safety Management System(s)

Mon, 4 Jan 2010, 06:19 am
I am an advocate (professionally) of implementing both quality (of) management systems and safety management systems to ISO 9001 and AS 4801 respectively. Whilst considered by many as bureaucratic and paper intensive in a small business - such as a theatrical company - it's not beyond one’s ken. Risk management and the management of risk is what it's about and you couldn’t have a more fluid melting pot for risk exposure as in theatre - FOH, back stage and on the deck. Electrical risk is always paramount and whilst left to the techies it behoves of the management entity (i.e. committee) to be aware of their responsibilities. Implementing a basic system covering ISO 9001 and AS 4801 clauses is a good model to adopt - that's what the Standards are - models for implementing. Test n' tag would feature in this system as something that has to be done and shown to be done........... Cheers – Peter Registered Lead Auditor RAB-QSA
