In Washington State, job hazard assessments are required for all workplaces. We do ours by location (you have the option to do it by location or task) for all of the studios, shops and theatres and then do a show specific risk assessment. The risk assessment for the show covers specific hazards (smoke/haze, traps, rakes, edges, falls, open orchestra pits, strange blackouts, dance injuries, etc.) that we identify and then discuss in an open training session with all of the cast and crew.
And as was observed, after the last concert season, the live entertainment business is going to come under a new regulatory microscope pretty damn quick, so get ready.
