The Performing Arts (Theatre, Dance, Music) Do Not Always Come

question 32

Multiple Choice

The performing arts (theatre, dance, music) do not always come to mind when hazardous workplaces are being discussed. However, performers at Canada's famed Shaw and Stratford festivals encounter many hazards and OH&S incidents can occur. Imagine a theatre with suspended overhead lights, trapdoors in the stage, on-stage sets that look real but are built of flimsy materials, narrow hallways and stairs, and actors engaged in fight scenes using realistic weapons. The same process of hazard recognition, risk assessment, and control must take place.
-What type of hazard would be represented by an unevenly repaired patch on a stage that could cause an actor to slip and fall when engaged in a fight scene?

• A)equipment hazard
• B)environment hazard
• C)materials hazard
• D)process hazard
