The main points to follow whilst using manual handling:
Lift with your legs, not just your arms
Map out and make sure the path you're taking is clear.

Make sure you get yourself over the object and get a good grip before lifting
Personal Protective Equipment
Personal Protective Equipment
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is the equipment expected in industry, some of which can be provided by your employer on certain occasions. It is expected that PPE is in good condition and well maintained to ensure it reduces chance of injury.
A basic level of PPE expected when working on site is safety boots/trainers, which have steel toe caps, and a hard hat to help protect from injuries such as concussions and crushing if equipment is to fall on someone. It may also be expected that you wear a hi-vis jacket so that you can be seen easier which also helps reduce chances of collision and injury on-site.

A-Frame ladders are a common form of access equipment used as a way of working at height for short periods of time as they vary in size and are easy to relocate/adjust. They are mainly used when doing high level rigging, and focusing.
A-Frame ladders are a type of access equipment typically used during activities that require you to be at height, for example, high-level rigging, specific crew work, and scenic work when working on larger pieces of set or props. They are very common in the work place as they are easy to relocate/adjust and vary in size, however it is advised to only work on them for 30 minutes at a time due to safety regulations.

Cable:
Taping cable helps prevent the chance of cast and crew from tripping over them. When taping larger or numerous cables it's useful to add a white strip to increase its visibility.
The cables have had to be taped separately due to their uses; if you cross signal cables with mains they are likely to cause feedback.
