Product Description

Book Description

Continuing where he left off with his highly successful An Introduction to Rigging in the Entertainment Industry (also published by Entertainment Technology Press), Chris Higgs’ new book covers the regulations and use of equipment in greater detail.
The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) are discussed at length and chapter 2 provides a model Code of Practice for Rigging in Venues. Rigging Theory covers everything from Factors of Safety and Terminations of Ropes and Wire Ropes to Breasts and Brails and Hotel and Ballroom Rigging. Equipment is fully described, as is the rigging process itself. The final chapter covers Working at Height, from the regulations involved and use of access machines through to example training courses. For the future, the author makes note of Soft Landing Systems.
Incorporated throughout the book is continued reference to as much guidance material as there is available from the likes of the HSE, British Standards and the ABTT’s Code of Practice for ‘Flying’.

4.0 out of 5 stars theatre and event rigging, 3 Nov 2009
By C. Leppington (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a mine of useful information for theatre and event rigging. The author is obviously very experienced and knows what he's talking about. I'd like to read his earlier work. I would have liked to have seen a few more illustrations about what he was talking about but this is a small criticism.
Overall I would recommend this to theatre professionals looking to consolidate their knowledge of rigging. I found the information on where to attach straps to truss most useful.
