Health and safety does not need to be complicated. If one goes back to the health and safety at Work Act 1974 it is a clear document and very much fit for purpose. Only many technicians and theatre managers have imposed on themselves excess health and safety bureaucracy due to risk aversion, media hype or insurance concerns.

What does the course cover?

This course offers guidance on what is needed to be compliant and examines the health and safety regulations in a practical way that specifically relate to theatre staff, stage managers, technicians, workshops and front-of-house staff. The course will offer an overview of current regulation affecting theatres, productions and events. One of the learning outcomes is that candidates will be able to complete a suitable and sufficient risk assessment within their workplace.
