Ensuring Installer and Crew Safety Through Industrial Technology

 

Watch the episode above as Ben Thomas and Meghan Kennely break down some of the ways that the AV industry is leveraging assisted lifting devices and industrial technology to ensure safety and compliance.

 

Summary:

  • As an installer, roadie, or crew member in the AV industry, it is essential to leverage technology and assisted lifting devices to not only make the job easier and more efficient, but also to ensure compliance with OSHA regulations.
  • One of the key benefits of using technology and assisted lifting devices is the ability to lift and move heavy equipment with ease and precision. This can include everything from speakers and amplifiers to lighting fixtures and projectors. By using assistive devices, hoists, and other lifting equipment, installers can safely and efficiently handle the heavy loads that are often required in the AV industry.
  • Using technology and assisted lifting devices can also help to ensure compliance with OSHA regulations. These regulations require employers to provide a safe working environment for employees, and using equipment such as lift assist devices, slings, and straps can help to minimize the risk of injury while handling heavy loads.
  • Proper training in the use of technology and assisted lifting devices is important to ensure compliance with OSHA regulations and to prevent accidents on the job. It is important to note that even the best equipment is only as effective as the person using it.
