WA Guidelines on the Application of the Health (Public Buildings) Regulations 1992
Wed, 20 Feb 2008, 01:47 pmThe Environmental Health Directorate has produced a pdf document that covers the REGULATIONS covering theatre in Western Australia.
This document is applicable to every public building in WA so it covers you!
Do you meet the requirements ?
The document can be purchased from the State law Publishers or downloaded for free from here http://www.population.health.wa.gov.au/environmental/resources/Public%20Buildings%20Guidelines%20Final.pdf
If you are looking to have the capacity of your venue increased or want to know the requirements for house lights, work lights, exit lights, safety chains etc it is in this document.
Enjoy

So it must have changed dramaticly since I worked there a few years ago?
However if my memory serves me corretly. I believe when each State adopted the National Restricted & Limited licence system, the vic & NSW entertaiment techies were the most out spoken & vocal on resisting the need to have an electrical licence. While I believe at the time that Queensland along with WA Techies were in favour of the introduction, across the board.
I would imagine as WA theatre is but a pimple on the backside of the industry. It is quicker to scan & pick up any looming problems, than it would be possible to overview in a larger market place.
As for the equipment suppliers in most regards the equipment most at risk is rather old & would have possibly been provided with safety chains, but given time they become lost & forgotten, much the same as what happens in Victoria & other States.
However the attitude of Group Commitees is similar, in not wishing to spend or know about the technical side. Treating it as a 'Set n forget' area!believing that once they have shelded out to procure the equipment, nothing more needs to be spent, done or heaven forbid orginise ongoing maintence.
So I doubt we are that much different at the group comeatre level!
