FLYING SAFETY
The prime concern in the design and use of loudspeaker flying systems is
safety – the safety of the public, performers and all personnel who work
with flying systems.
Suspension of loudspeaker systems should only ever be undertaken by
specialist, trained personnel working in association with professional
riggers. Safety is crucially dependant on safe working practices, which must
be learned, understood and adhered to. Everyone involved in the
deployment of flown loudspeaker systems has a duty to safety.
Different operating and safety requirements between and within countries
make it impossible to give universally definitive advice on safety, so it is
important that users consult with local regulatory authorities for specific
guidelines.
This manual is not the definitive guide to safe working practice in the use of
flying systems but is advisory in nature and intended to promote safety by
providing clear information on the capabilities, adjustment and safe use of
the W8L flying system.
Despite all the care taken in the design and manufacture of the flying
system, Martin Audio Ltd. cannot guarantee complete safety whenever a
flying system is used. Safety in use is dependent upon the safe working
practices of flying system users. The advice and information contained in
the manual does not absolve users from complying with any legal safety
requirements and codes of practice in force at a time and place where a
W8L system is deployed.
Important!
Everyone involved in the on-site assembly and deployment of a
loudspeaker flying system has a duty to ensure the safe construction,
adjustment and deployment of that flying system. It is therefore crucial that
every W8L flying system user has the opportunity to read and fully
understand the advice and information presented in this manual. Every
W8L flying system user also needs to be properly trained in the safe use of
the system before ever constructing and deploying the system in a working
situation.
