The 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 Don

not against tagging

Hi Na Just to clarify I'm not against checking electrical equipment for faults. I'm a qualified Electrical Engineer so I know the safety risks & it's me who is working with them! I am just trying to clarify the LEGAL requirements. Certainly if luminaires are classified as portable and the Act says all portable equipment regardless of its location must be tested you must have them tagged. If it is not a legal requirement all lights should be tested anyway, it just means someone like myself can do it rather than someone with a contractors ticket.
