Safety assessment for lighting and sound.
This risk assessment is going to highlight all the possibilities that could course harm to a actor or crew member during our murder mystery performance. Below you will find every said for of all risks and what contingencies will be put in place to avoid them.
Possible risks.
- Trips hazards from cables, lights, steps, and staging that actors operate around.
- Glare from the lights coursing impaired vision.
- Lights from the racking falling out of the racking.
- Risky of tripping to darkened areas.
All of these are possible reasons for something from my department that could course risk or farm to a crew member or actor that is working on or around the stage.
Ways to mitigate risk or injury.
- To lower the risk of tripping or injury from hazards around the stage and backstage we will minimize the amount of clutter on the floor, keep all cables and equipment as tucked away and we organized as possible. We will keep the actors and crew members as well informed about hazards around the stage so that it can be avoided during practice of the final performance.
- Impaired vision from the lights during a performance will be helped by making designing the lights to not beam directly in actor’s eyes and to inform the actors during rehearsals about the lights so that they can prepare and find angles that helps with the glare.
- There is a real risk of lights falling out of the racking, but we lower that risky significantly by placing safety straps with the lights so that if one breaks the other is there to catch it. And making sure that the light is placed in the racking by a qualified and experienced technician.
- To cover areas that aren’t well lit such as back stage areas, we will provide adequate lighting and knowledge about the area so that the actors can easily see and prepare for walking those areas.
