Identify safety techniques used when handling lighting equipment.

Identification should include

• wearing appropriate safety gear (e.g., gloves), especially when handling heated equipment
• adhering to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations
• using a safety cable when setting up and moving studio lights
• using cables appropriate to voltage demands/levels
• securing cables to prevent accidents
• observing voltage and circuit loads
• keeping "hot" equipment from flammable materials (i.e., practicing fire safety).

Process/Skill Questions:

• What might be the consequences of not following safety procedures?
• What are two pieces of safety equipment commonly required for working with lighting?
• What is the importance of monitoring appropriate voltage use/load?
