I have been looking for a good book on Safety in the Theatre, shop, etc., and all I have come up with so far in looking through the threads is Davidson's books that seem to focus on High School level and below, which is not what Im looking for. Im wanting something that covers the basics and more, and if it included some up to date codes and regulations that would be awesome There are several on Amazon, but none of them seem to have been rated by others people, which concerns me. Also, what are the best resources to finding codes and regulations specifically for the theatre?
On a side note, last year we had a safety inspection done, the report listed some new codes that I had never heard of before, and have not been able to verify, such as: A-Frame Extension ladders over a maximum 25' climbing height are now banned by OSHA, and that fire curtains must remain down at all times the theatre is unoccupied. I don't doubt the validity of what the inspector said, I just would like to read the codes for myself, and have not been able to find them through searches. Have any of you seen this?
