Is your production or installation outdoors? Have you established an adverse weather action plan?

For outdoor events, one variable that is often overlooked is the possibility of changing weather conditions.

In recent years, many productions have been adversely affected by sudden or unexpected weather events, such as high winds, thunderstorms, excessive precipitation, and other forms or effects of severe weather.

BLUMANO can help you create and establish a customised action plan to fit your production’s stage machinery or temporary structures. Applying references that are recognised worldwide, like the Beaufort Scale—which is used for constant wind speeds and gusts—we can set up a step-by-step action plan that considers changing conditions like increasing or decreasing wind speeds. We can also develop easy-to-implement protocols for rain, snow, thunderstorms and combinations of weather conditions such as high winds and downpour.

These action plans will help you establish a contingency plan for your production and should be a part of your H&S documentation that will soon be required by CEN/TC 152.

Overall, the ultimate objective is to keep your staff and equipment safe from injury and damage during severe weather phenomenons.
