Presentation 4:
Details: Adam Beaumonth from Chainmaster GmbH will present:
- Electric chain hoists, safe and proper use - Electric chain hoists are strong and robust, which is an absolute must when we consider they are used to suspend heavy loads above people. These hoists can take a lot of abuse and still perform, but an accident resulting from incorrect use can be catastrophic!
- Common mistakes when working with chain hoists.
- Dos and don’ts, and options we have to ensure safe and proper use of electric chain hoists.

Work at height:
Participants at the expo will get a chance to try the leap of faith - a heart-stopping activity where one leaps off a 20-feet high platform to try and grab a target hung at a distance and free fall 15-feet before the specially-rigged safety system slows and arrests their fall right above terra firma. This will showcase loads exerted when taking a fall.
Work at height safety measures (recommended for trussing, lighting, sound & AV rigging companies & production managers) climbing & working on trusses (Duration: 20 minutes). Team Natura will demo some crucial truss-based safety protocols and best practices. The short demo will reinforce the need for correct systems and simple thumb rules involved in working at height/on truss towers.
Note:The PALM EESA Live Rigging Workshop will be running multiple sets of demonstrations/workshops. Showcase & Live Demonstrations: Every day from 11am to 5pm at periodic intervals of 30 minutes.
