IOSH the (Institution of Occupational Safety and Health) has launched a new online safety guide aimed at those involved in designing, manufacturing and using machinery on theatrical sets.
The guide takes a checklist type approach and breaks the process down into seven stages, with links to template documents at each stage:
· Concept,
· Design,
· Manufacturing,
· Commissioning, inspection and safety sign off,
· Testing,
· Final sign off and handover
· Use
The guidance can be found on IOSH’s website at: https://exclusive.iosh.com/safeprinciplesguide
Please speak to your normal PIB Risk management contact or get in touch using [email protected] if you have any questions about machinery safety.
