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

I'm not sure. I don't do a
Thu, 21 Feb 2008, 10:56 pmI'm not sure. I don't do a lot of tech work these days, but in my experience, most, if not all, places have been of pretty good technical standard. As for testing and tagging, you do need a cert. and I know of a number of places that regularly test and tag their equipment. I know that the hiring companies do it, and that they take the safety requirements of their equipment seriously. Whether or not the standards are the same across the board or not is another matter.
I can't speak of amateur groups, because I don't work with them, but I would hope that their prod. managers are smart enough to follow correct safety procedures and use proper equipment.
The only people I have ever met who were willing to bend safety standards were ones that didn't know they existed in the first place (ie. not properly trained, or have the right experience/knowledge to be in charge of production decisions).
Maybe I've just been lucky in terms of who I've worked with and where.
