safe height to perform

I beg to differ - no one is exempt from safety regulations. It is the risk assessment process and control measures that deem whether you under take certain tasks. Where you would not let the general public walk on a platform from where they could fall and hurt themselves. Whereas a performer has assessed and had has lots of rehearsal and therefore is very aware of the risk. If you read the oh&s acts of the various Australian states no-where does it state that certain people are exempt from normal safety regs and to imply that they are is not a good idea to state. As I am studying OH&S and the moment and having written articles on this topic and developed OH&S policies for venues I feel that I can comment on this. I suggest that you talk to the relevant authority and follow their guidance. Stephen Dean Ramblings of a Techie www.theatretechgeek.wordpress.com
