2 Critical steps in this job Potential Hazards Safety controls Unload truss and equipment Objects may fall on Apply safe working standards from truck persons unloading Back injury due to incorrect lifting Apply safe lifting techniques, use ramp to take equipment from truck Assemble truss Incorrect assembled truss may break under load Assemble according to Manufacturer specifications. Riggers to attach lifting equipment may cause truss to fall methods Attach lighting equipment to truss at working height Check equipment hooks and safety chains Connect equipment to cabling Check all auxiliary equipment (gel frames, gobo holders, barn doors) for attachment Attach static-lines, fallarresters and other safety equipment (only if truss is accessible for personnel) Bring truss to trim height Connect dimmer racks to power Connect equipment to dimmer rack Focus lighting equipment Truss at incorrect height can cause back injury Incorrect attached equipment may fall from truss may lead to electrocution Objects may fall from equipment Personnel carrying out work on truss at heights above 2 metre from floor Cables may get caught and could break Truss or motor may hit fixtures could lead to electrocution could lead to electrocution Work must be carried out at height Bring truss to correct working height ( approx. 1.6mtr above floor) Check hooks for cracks or deformations, check safety chain connected properly Check cables for wear & tear, use correct cable and connector for required voltage & wattage Ensure all auxiliary equipment is secured to equipment Ensure correct attachment of safety equipment. Ensure all cables are clear and long enough for the job Ensure clear line of sight at any time the truss moves Use only approved connectors and cable, suitable for the requirement. Where a tail-in is required, this must be carried out by a licensed, in-house electrician Use only approved connectors and cable, suitable for the requirement. Do not overload dimmer circuits Where practical, use boomlift to access equipment. Personnel must wear appropriate harness. Minimum ladder to be used

3 All personnel required to work during performance or concert with high level noise At the completion of the event, disassemble in reverse order Stage / Riser building and assembly Carpet for Stage Ramps Riggers to attach Set to Stage line truss. Personnel could fall from height above 2 metres Hearing damage Same as assembly Stage may not be built to engineering specifications causing potential injuries. Back injury due to incorrect lifting of stage pieces Incorrect assembly of carpet runners may cause a trip hazard may cause set to fall Where no other access is possible, use rope ladder to climb to truss, harness must be attached to fallarrester, when at truss level, harness must be attached to staticline. Wear appropriate ear plugs at all times Carry out safety requirements as per assembly Apply safe working standards and correct engineer specifications in Stage assembly Apply safe lifting techniques, use two or more individuals to lift. Attach Carpet to existing Floor and Stage with double sided tape to ensure stability. methods using industry rated wires and wire rope grips. Riggers to build Truss line for Set / Vision Screens and Stage lights Riggers to attach Stage line Truss to chain motors and ground supported Which Ups which will be elevated to height(approx 6.0m) Attach Safety Wires To Truss and Set from Ceiling Rigging Points. Attach Lighting, Audio, and Vision equipment and Screens to Truss and Venue rigging in the ceiling. Incorrect Truss assembly may cause truss to fall. Incorrect attached Truss and equipment may fall and cause injury. may lead to truss and set falling down Equipment may fall from Height and cause injury. Assemble according to manufacturers specifications methods. Assemble according to manufacturers specifications. Making sure ground support secure with industry standard weight bags methods to attach safety wires to pre-existing venue ceiling rigging to secure the Truss and Set. Using industry standard rigging methods attach Equipment to truss and ensure safety by using Safety wires from equipment to truss and venue rigging.

4 Structure and Set Floor mounted throughout the venue. Placement of Follow spots Risers Placement of FOH and Control Operation Risers Tapping and Covering of Equipment cabling to the floor throughout venue Crowd control barriers and placement Incorrect assembly may cause structure to fall and cause injury. Inadequate footing for structure may cause Structure to fall. regulations and exits regulations and exits Incorrect cable laying and securing methods may cause a trip hazard regulations and may pose a trip hazard Ensure correct assembly of structure as per Engineer specifications. Use industry standard rigging methods and use weight bags for extra stability on upright structure Ensure placement of Risers follows Fire regulations and leaves fire exits clear in-case of evacuation Ensure placement of Risers follows Fire regulations and leaves fire exits clear in-case of evacuation Use approved industry standard cable trays and carpet runners to secure cables as well as Gaffer tape for any cables and carpet exposed to the public Use industry approved barriers placed within the venues Fire regulation parameters and marked with hazard tape along the ground for easy observation Floor mounted Audio and Lighting Stands indoors and outdoors Focus Lighting and Audio equipment indoors/outdoors Check Audio and Lighting Levels before the event regulations and may pose a trip hazard Work must be carried out at height Personnel could damage hearing and or sight if not correctly adjusted Placement of Stands to be within the venues Fire regulation parameters and marked with hazard tape along the ground for easy observation Where practical, use a ladder and or boom lift to access equipment. Personnel must wear appropriate harness when in boom lift. Using Qualified Audio and Lighting Technicians with experience to Setup, Check and Operate equipment from Setup through to pack down Wet weather cable isolation Electrocution Use electrical tape to weather proof and seal all cable connections where ever outdoors All personnel required to work during Event need to have rest and sleep prior to Operation Smoke isolation for the Event. Mental and Health problems due to overworking, long hours and minimal sleep Incorrect isolation may cause the Fire alarms to activate resulting in Accommodation and sleeping quarters need to be supplied for industry standard down time in or close to the venue Venue Staff need to ensure that Smoke isolation has been carried out as per industry standard and

5 All personnel required to work during an Event need to work free from Alcohol and Drugs in their system Marking of Floor mounted stands ( Audio, Lighting, Vision, Rigging ) Marking of Floor mounted Stages and Stairs ( Audio, Lighting, Vision, Rigging ) Use of Scissor lifts and Boom lifters indoors/outdoors PPE ( Personal Protective Equipment ) water and evacuation Performance and decision making is impaired and may lead to accidents and injury Incorrect or no marking around perimeter of structure may result in a trip hazard and injury Incorrect or failure to mark perimeter of structure may result in a fall hazard and injury Heavy moving equipment may cause serious injury and property damage Incorrect PPE or Failure to wear appropriate PPE may cause injury regulations. Staff to monitor each other and inform supervisors if they believe a staff member is under the influence so that impaired staff member must be assessed and escorted from the premises immediately without pay Ensure hazard tape or bright coloured tape marked around base of structures must be clear and have high visibility Ensure hazard tape or bright coloured tape marked on and around perimeter of structures must be clear for high visibility Drivers of vehicular and elevated platform equipment must be licensed and environmentally aware using signals and instruction where required for safety Wear industry standard PPE work wear to ensure OHS policy
