Theatres Are Dangerous

Theatres are inherently dangerous places. We work with tools and equipment which if not used properly can cause severe damage to a person. We work with saws, paints, chemicals electricity, explosives, and other items which, even with proper use, create potentially dangerous situations. We work on ladders, on catwalks, often at substantial heights. We move very heavy objects. And we do all of this in a limited space frequently with  many people around, all of whom could be the victim of a moment of daydreaming or thoughtlessness.

The next several pages point out some basic safety rules. Be sure to read all the text on all the pages, and then at the end, when you are ready, complete the on-line quiz.
