minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 months agoI’ve gotta ask: how long have you worked in safety?
minus-square@IphtashuFitzlinkEnglish3•2 months ago20+ years as a technical director at a theater where among many other things I’ve had to deal with the safety aspects of: Prop firearms prop knives & swords stage combat fire & smoke effects objects like hammers, bricks, rocks, etc. thrown or swung at actors Bricks and other objects falling onto actors from heights up to 15 feet Sparks & other electrical effects collapsing sets, sometimes with actors on/under them falls through trap doors glass bottles, ceramic vases, etc. broken over actors heads Through a number of these I’ve also consulted with film & theater safety experts, fire departments, building/electrical inspectors, etc.
