What Matthew 25 and OSHA Say About Staging & Rigging ...

Church Production Magazine: A few weeks ago I came to the Entertainment Services and Technology Administration (ESTA) office to be greeted with a story about a person in our entertainment industry. She'd been out of work recuperating from leg surgery, and had returned to work in the theater. On her first day back, being very careful not to fall, she reached for the handrail as she walked down the steps from the stage into the house. The handrail collapsed. She fell into the orchestra pit. The handrail looked solid, but wasn't. Now she was again out of work and in pain. The carpenter installing the handrail had put it up, but not secured it, while he went to get additional supplies.
