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 just find it odd that
Thu, 28 Feb 2008, 06:53 pmI just find it odd that anyone would think it was ok not to test and tag, because they're a community group.
If I see a rusty old chainsaw, I don't hand it to my volunteer crew and say "It's ok, we're a community group. We don't need safety checks". (No offense to David F... I'm exaggerating to make a point)
Even if it wasn't a mandate of the government, I would insist on doing a test and tag anyway. There's a lot of old equipment out there, in old venues, and I can't think of an easier way to make sure the equipment won't kill you.
Though you need a licence to test and tag (at least in VIC), all it is: taking a tool and applying it to the plug of a piece of equipment. It takes about three minutes to do; including the time it takes to write out and attach the tag.
A couple of hours worth of work for your local techie/electrician, versus the possibility of someone getting hurt and your public liability skyrocketing... which one would you choose?
