Fire Safety and Prevention
Practices like not overloading circuits and having fire extinguishers on hand, which are crucial for preventing fires in theatres and during stage productions.
Fall Protection
Safety measures such as harnesses and railings to prevent falls when working at heights with lighting rigs, essential to prevent serious injuries.
Cold Work Permit
A permit required for potentially hazardous non-hot work tasks that could create sparks or heat, ensuring safety procedures are followed during lighting setup.
Certified Lifting Equipment
Equipment that has been tested and approved for lifting heavy loads, such as lighting equipment, to ensure safety during installation and rigging.
Thermal Management
The process of controlling heat produced by lighting equipment, critical to preventing overheating and ensuring the longevity of the lighting instruments.
Wet Location Precautions
Measures taken to ensure safety of lighting equipment and personnel in wet or damp environments, including the use of appropriate fixtures and protection methods.
Safety Bond
A physical link, typically a cable or chain, that provides a secondary attachment point for lighting fixtures, preventing them from falling.
Working Load Limit (WLL)
The maximum loading that a piece of equipment is rated for, ensuring the safe operation of lighting fixtures and preventing structural overloading.
Emergency Lighting
Lighting that automatically comes on when the power supply to the normal lighting fails, ensuring safety and guiding evacuation in case of an emergency.
Signal Flow
Understanding the path that control signals take through the lighting system, which is necessary to troubleshoot and ensure reliable operations.
Lightning Protection
Systems designed to protect the lighting installation from lightning strikes, an essential consideration for outdoor lighting.
UV Radiation Protection
The use of equipment and clothing to protect against ultraviolet radiation from certain types of lighting fixtures, to prevent skin and eye damage.
Lockout-Tagout (LOTO)
A safety procedure used to ensure that dangerous machines are properly shut off and not started up again prior to the completion of maintenance or repair work. It's critical in lighting work to prevent accidental energizing of lighting equipment.
Safety Cables
Steel cables that secure lighting instruments to the grid or ceiling in case of clamps failing, providing a secondary safety measure.
Safe Working Practices
The set of guidelines and procedures designed to keep workers safe while operating lighting equipment, including training and adherence to safety standards.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Items like gloves, safety glasses, and hard hats, used to protect individuals from physical, electrical, and chemical hazards while working with lighting.
Truss Load Calculation
The process of determining the total weight that a lighting truss can support, important to ensure the truss is not overloaded and remains safe.
Cable Management
Organizing cables effectively to prevent tripping hazards and electrical interference, important to maintain a clear working environment and to protect equipment.
Rigging Inspection
Regular checks for wear and damage on all rigging equipment, critical to detecting potential failures in lighting setups.
Load Distribution
Ensuring weight is evenly spread out over trusses and fixtures to avoid over-stressing and potential collapse, vital for the integrity of lighting systems.
Power Disconnect
Ensuring power is switched off and cannot be turned on accidentally when lighting equipment is being installed or serviced, to safeguard against electric shock.
Electrical Grounding
The method of connecting the electrical equipment to the earth in order to avoid electrical shock. This is vital for personal safety and preventing damage to lighting instruments.
Power Overload Protection
Systems and practices designed to prevent electrical circuits from carrying too much power, thereby preventing potential fires and equipment damage.
Laser Safety
The use of protective eyewear and adherence to safety guidelines when working with laser lighting effects, to prevent eye injuries and other hazards.
Circuit Breakers
Automatically operated electrical switches designed to protect circuits from damage caused by overcurrent, essential for electrical safety in lighting.
