What are the safety protocols for installing fabric sculptures at heights?
Installing fabric sculptures at heights requires strict adherence to safety protocols to prevent accidents and ensure structural integrity. Key steps include conducting a thorough risk assessment, using certified fall protection equipment like harnesses and guardrails, and ensuring all rigging materials are load-tested. Scaffolding or lifts should be inspected before use, and only trained personnel should handle installations. Weather conditions must be monitored to avoid high winds or rain, which can compromise stability. Regular equipment checks and clear communication among the team are critical for a safe and successful installation. Following these protocols ensures both artist safety and the longevity of the artwork.
