I'm preparing a series of pieces for my blog on "the scene shop:" workflow, layout, tools, and so forth, and it occurred to me that a post on suggested rules might be good to include. This would be on things like hours of operation, allowable clothing, and so on, to be posted right in the shop.

Do any of you have such a list of rules you'd care to share? I've seen a number of these and have a good idea of what to include, but can always see another approach.

Hi,

1. Never use a tool that you are not trained to use.
2. Hair back, no "dangly" jewelry (teachers: includes name tags on lanyards)
3. Closed toe shoes
4. No loose fitting clothing
5. Eye protection always
6. Hearing protection as required
7. No horse play/distracting behaviors
8. Report malfunctioning equipment
9. Return tools to where they belong
10. Report injuries
11. Know location of First Aid box
12. Know location of fire extinguisher and how to use it.

Attached is the scene shop safety poster I've used for years (not that I'm a set person, but when managing a theatre one is responsible for all areas).  Great idea for a blog post!

Note that it's a "workshop" safety poster, and includes the costume shop - a hazardous area somewhat neglected (as Sleeping Beauty will attest to).

I've left it in Word and there's a space at the top for a school logo in case anyone reading this would like to adapt it (every theatre is different), and adopt it, for their own use.
