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

This exactly the intent of the Act.
Simply everthing that is plugged in is consdered temporary & part of the Portable aplliance Test[PAT], however the 'Log book' also covers the fixed wired installed 'Exit' & 'emergency Lighting' as well.
this also includes extention leads, desk lamps & any other appliance used in a performance.
As Don pionted out testing can be carried out by a competant person, but repaires have to effected by a holder of a Full, restricted or Limited Electrical Licence.
This also applies to other type of performances, not just inside an existing building.
Duty of care is each individual members responsiblity, not only that of the Group as a whole.
Also the Health Act has to be read inconjunction with all other related Acts. Such as the Building Code, Electrical & Worksafe.
The hiccup is, ignorance is not a legal excuse & won't stand up as a valid defence in court.
