“Creativity is the heart and soul of the entertainment business. Making sure the success of the show is unblemished by accidents, injury and property damage also requires a creative approach.”

I like this quote from the Risk Management Guide. As one of the people involved in the safety and management of shows I know I often have to think creatively about situations and how to respond to them. I'll be interested in reading further into this guide over the winter break to see what PM/SM's can take from it and apply to what we do on a day to day basis. I really hope that this guide will prove to be useful for all aspects of the entertainment business and allow safety and protocol to become on the forefront of people's minds.
