[SML] Fly system SWP, SOPs, P&P?

[Matthew Breton]

To talk about SOPs, rather than Uncle Buddys, JR Clancy has some decent guidance documents for operating counterweight lineset systems.

JRClancy.com -> Resources -> Safety and Operations Manuals

Plus they have some handy signage you can download and customize.

Hi everyone



Recently my worksite has been given managerial control over a 100 year old (renovated 10 years ago) small proscenium house.  It’s got 38 fly lines on 8” centres.  Single purchase.



Part of my to do list is to create the paperwork around the safe operation and training of staff and university students.



Rather than start from scratch (I last ran flies 20 years ago before this job), I’m hoping to get some documents I can crib from.  The University has its own template files, I’m looking for sources of the language, risk matrix, things to include etc.



If you have any documents for a fly system titled the following, would you be willing to share?



Safe Work Procedures

Standard Operating Procedures

Policy and Procedures

Operator Rules

Training documents



Thanks very much.



PS:  what’s preferred for out of balance lineset while loading for tall set pieces or soft goods:  snub line, twists, or Uncle Benny?  I think I know the Hive’s answer, but just to confirm….

Options 2 and 3 put too much wrong tension on the floating kick block, yes??
