5.1 Installation safety

To avoid mechanical hazards, please note the following:

•  Safety regulations vary in different regions. Full compliance with those 

regulations must be your priority

•  Installations must only be undertaken by fully qualified and experienced 

engineers/technicians who understand local regulations

•  This may include consulting a structural engineer before installation of wall brackets
•  Remember that all personnel have a duty of care to themselves, to their assistants, to 

the venue staff and to the public

•  Before lifting any part of the system above head height, check the whole rig for loose 

tools or other items that may fall and cause injury

•  Do not use a telephone (even if hands-free) whilst installing. Always concentrate fully on 

the installation operation

•  Do not install equipment that is worn, damaged, corroded, mishandled or over-

stressed in any way

•  Use only Void-approved mounting equipment and accessories
•  Secondary safeties should be provided in all instances where cabinets are flying or fixing 

overhead and should conform to local regulations
