ABSTRACT

Location recording is often a scramble to rig, record, wrap and move on to the next set-up. There is always the urgency to get the job done, but as pressurized as this may be, it is never expedient to cut corners on safety. A couple of minutes saved by not making safe a cable crossing the top of a flight of stairs may result in injury and many hours of lost time. You have a responsibility to ensure that the condition and the method of rigging lamps and cables at a location is safe to yourself and to members of the public.
