Welcome

We are committed to protecting the health, safety and well being of all people working at or visiting Revival Productions event site.

• We plan, manage, conduct and supervise all our work in compliance

• We want to ensure that all workers have a clear understanding of their responsibilities along with that of the company.

• Site Safety is a team effort and it is not the responsibility of one person alone.

However

• YOU are responsible for your works/working area, and in particular, ensuring that they do not harm others.

• If you are not happy with the actions of others, or how it affects your work space, raise it with the Production Team.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Basic Site Rules

• Making short cuts in work could mean you’ll do it twice if it’s not done properly – is it really time efficient to take that chance?

Working Areas

• All significant work operations should be undertaken in a secured work area, clear of non-essential personnel.
