Is your backstage equipment safe to
operate? Are ropes frayed? If there were
an emergency, would your fire safety
curtain perform as it should?
Identify backstage hazards before an accident happens.
Make safety a priority. Schedule an annual inspection of your school’s theatre to theatre to uncover faulty equipment and hazardous situations that could eventually develop into life-safety issues.
Ensure safety. You are responsible for the safety of your students, faculty, and audience. From ropes that move lighting overhead to flame proofing of curtains, it’s imperative everything is in proper working order.
Reduce liability risk. Most states require an annual inspection of your entire facility. In any case, make annual inspections of your theatre a standard procedure in your loss/accident prevention program.
Protect your investment. Thousands of dollars are invested in your theatrical equipment and replacements are expensive. By identifying problems early repair costs can be minimized.
