The Association Of British Theatre Technicians has temporarily withdrawn the ‘Guide To Access For Work At Heights In Theatre’ Code of Practice.
This follows the withdrawal of the Manufacturer’s Instructions containing a section on moving an occupied Tallescope, consequential upon actions by the Health And Safety Executive.
The Manufacturer’s Instructions are reprinted in the ABTT Code of Practice.
Whilst believing the method contained in the Code of Practice to be safe, the ABTT strongly recommends that an occupied Tallescope is not moved until this matter is resolved.
