Rigging Manual 5
1.6 Safety Inspections
Carefully inspect rigging system components and cabinets for defects or signs of damage before proceeding to assemble the array to be own. If any parts are
damaged or suspect, or if there is any doubt as to the proper functioning and safety of the items DO NOT USE THEM and withdraw them from use immediately.
Refer to Chapter 12 for information about care maintenance and disposal.
1.7 Secondary Safeties
All loudspeakers own in theatres, studios or other places of work and entertainment, in addition to the principle load bearing means of suspension, shall be provided
with an independent, properly rated, and securely attached secondary safety. Only steel wire ropes or steel chains of an approved construction and load rating shall be
used as secondary safeties. Plastic-covered steel wire ropes are not permitted for use as secondary safeties.
The secondary safety suspension must be independent of the primary suspension points and capable of carrying the total system weight. The additional safety device
must be mounted in a way that the array is caught by the safety device without any drop and swing in the event that the primary suspension fails.
1.8 Wind Loads
The loudspeakers must not be suspended or ground stacked in winds greater than:
Beaufort Scale 6 bft (39-49 km/h, 25-31 mph, 22-27 knots)
If the forecast or actual winds reach:
Beaufort Scale 8 bft (62-74 km/h, 39-46 mph, 34-40 knots)
1) Clear the area of personnel
2) Lower and secure the array
1.9 Operational Safety
The procedures require the use of two or more authorised persons.
Produce a lift plan: before any lift takes place, you must formulate a lift plan that describes the exact steps and procedures that will be carried out. The plan must be
shared with all assistants and stake-holders in the lift so that each person will understand their responsibilities.
Observe all instructions given on the respective instruction labels of the rigging components and loudspeakers.
When using chain hoists make sure nobody is directly underneath or in the vicinity of the array.
During assembly pay attention to the possible risk of crushing.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
