Secondary Safeties

All loudspeakers flown in theatres, studios or other places of work and entertainment must, in addition to the principle load bearing means of suspension, be provided with an independent, properly rated and securely attached secondary safety.

Only steel wire ropes or steel chains of an approved construction and load rating may be used as secondary safeties. Plastic covered steel wire ropes are not permitted for use as secondary safeties.

Safety Inspections

Carefully inspect rigging systems components and cabinets for defects or signs of damage before proceeding to assemble a flown array. If any parts are damaged or suspect, DO NOT USE THEM.

Regular, more rigorous test and inspection of rigging components must also be carried out. Safety legislation and test and inspection requirements will vary from country to country. In most cases, annual independent test and inspection by a suitably approved and qualified inspector will be required. Users must ensure compliance with all applicable safety requirements.

Turbosound recommends regular safety inspections and further recommends that a logbook be kept detailing the test and inspection history of each Turbosound rigging accessory.

Turbosound has adopted the following load safety factors:

•12 x load safety factor: Chains, ropes, shackles, eyebolts, straps and hooks.

•5 x load safety factor: Accessories generally employed in fixed, permanent installations.

Always wear protective headwear, footwear and eye protection in accordance with local regulations. Anyone involved in flying ANY sound system, especially in a touring capacity, should take note of the following advice:

The rigging of a flown sound system may be dangerous unless undertaken by qualified personnel with the required experience and certification to perform the necessary tasks. Fixing of hanging points in a roof should always be carried out by a professional rigger and in accordance with the local rules of the venue. The house rigger and/or building manager must always be consulted.

You should observe particularly the following points:
