Safety, dismantling and references

Your safety matters more than any deadline. The detailed guidance is in CO-160 Chapter 6, A-149, and each team's DC-83 job hazard analysis.

During delivery and setup

  • Attend the safety briefing and your keyman's DC-83 review. Know the nearest exit and keep all exits and walkways clear.
  • Use enough helpers for anything over 20 kg or bulky. Roll wheeled cases. Wear work shoes and gloves; use hard hats for raised-speaker work.
  • Close case latches before moving equipment. Inspect cables and cover every floor crossing.
  • Keep tripods level, locked and sandbagged. Connect a speaker before raising it and keep others clear.
  • Report an incident, near miss, damaged item or unsafe condition immediately. Stop work if something is unsafe.
  • Keep food and drinks away from A/V equipment.

Sunday dismantling

The teardown teams and keymen are not final. They will be added after the live roster is updated. Until then, do not use the setup teams or any earlier teardown list as an assignment.

  1. Note the actual program end. Let the audience leave. The teardown safety meeting and prayer begins 30 minutes after the actual end; wait for it before starting.
  2. The meeting leader will name the teams, keymen, packing area and work order. Switch off power before disconnecting anything.
  3. Lower raised speakers with two people and hard hats. Remove stands, microphones, cables and covers without creating trip hazards. Return all venue equipment to venue staff.
  4. Bring every item to the packing area. The packing team checks it against the October BOM. Put each item back in its correct box; cable colour tags match the box.
  5. Report and photograph damage. Close every latch, and strap wheeled cases in the truck rather than relying on the wheel locks.

Thank you for your loving support and careful work.
