A construction site is a whole different deal. When i work with other
trades on an install, hard hats and shoes are required. If your flying
solo on a job site, that another deal. I had to take home my aluminum
ladder (deemed illegal) at an airforce base install and had to get a
fiberglass one (that been awhile back).



OSHA has most General contractors on the defensive on these issues.
Including using GFI's on tools. When OSHA decides to go after the
touring industry, look out. Everybody's world will turn a different color
(maybe closer to UPS brown)

One of the theaters I worked in had an SPL limit that was impossible to
keep with the show I was mixing. The Theater Director took a look at the
house SPL meter & told me I was pushing the envelop. After she left, the
house engineer used a small screwdriver to adjust the trim-pot on his
Radio Shack SPL Meter. I had no problem after that. I like guys like
him. :-)

I've done college shows where the student crew shows up for load-in
wearing sandals. Not only could they get their toes crushed, but you
cannot get firm footing with sandals. ... crazy ...

The sound and lighting folks have it good, you should see what we have
to go through with both local's and fed's touring lasers... And all because
one 70's act liked to get a little too high and then would scan the audience..
All it takes is one good lawsuit and you're suddenly into something from
"Brazil"..
