Safety Guidelines
As set out in the “Safety Guidelines for the Live Performance Industry in Ontario” York’s H&S policy
stipulates that during set up/load-in and strike/load-out the theatre space is considered a Construction
Site and must follow the regulations as stipulated by the Ontario Health and Safety Act (OH&SA). As
such, everyone who enters a performance space during these times (both on stage and in the audience
chamber) must be wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including CSA approved
foot ware (i.e.-steel toes) and a CSA approved hard hat. There are no exceptions.

Between set up/load-in and strike/load-out, the theatre will revert to an Industrial Site (as defined by
the OH&SA) and appropriate PPE must be used when hazards are present (i.e. hard hats must be worn
when overhead work is being done). The Performance Facilities Lead technicians(s), Coordinator,
Technical Services OR Manager, Performance Facilities will be responsible for deciding when the
theatre changes between a Construction and Industrial site.

For further information about York's Health and Safety policies and in particular Performance
Facilities Health and Safety policies please contact the Manager, Performance Facilities or the
Coordinator Technical Services.

NOTE: Food and drinks are not permitted in the space, except bottled
water.
