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

question 22

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.
- Under what legislation could the theatre be liable for failing to maintain the stage in a better condition?

• A)Canada Labour Code
• B)Occupational Health and Safety Act
• C)Workers' Compensation Act
• D)CSA Standard Z432-94
