<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Part of my to do list is to create the paperwork around the safe operation and training of staff and university students.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have any documents for a fly system titled the following, would you be willing to share?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Safe Work Procedures<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Standard Operating Procedures<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Policy and Procedures<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Operator Rules<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Training documents<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks very much.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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….<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Options 2 and 3 put too much wrong tension on the floating kick block, yes??<u></u><u></u></p>
