Safe Working Practices
Props Mistress
As the Props Mistress it is important to make sure that all the props meet the
highest health and safety regulations so that no one is harmed or injured.
 Food: As there was food used on stage we had to make sure that no one
had any allergies to bread or cheese. Bread crumbs
 Chairs or stools: As there are chairs and stools in our musicals I have to
make sure that they are structurally sound.
 Not blocking exits to avoid tripping.
 Make sure that performers have enough space to get changes
 Make sure that all props are either on or under the tables to avoid
tripping over.
 Make sure that the props tables/areas are lit enough to see in the dark
back stage areas.
 Make sure that all used food items such as cans are cleaned out
thoroughly to avoid mould growing which could cause illness as the
actors have to pretend to drink from the cans.
 Make sure that the props store remains clean and organised and that
any items that are hooked on to walls are secure.
 The age, size and physical fitness of the performers should be taken into
account in all stages of design, purchase, construction and use of hand
props and costumes. For example we considered the weight of the flags
so that they are able to wave them effectively.
 I also had to make sure that the Hand held lights we not broken and that
when they did brake they had sharp plastic on them so they had to be
replaced.
 Slushies’ – We could not have real slushies’ like the director wanted
because of the health and safety implications of having melting ice on
and off stage. They also had to dance with the slushies’ and they get
thrown into the Kart which would be messy.
 Weight of coffee Machine and Cash Till – We had to consider the weight
and position of the coffee machine and the cash till because the actors
dance and sit on the counters.
 In the shop we also had to make sure that all the items were stuck down
on to the shelves so that nothing fell off the set and created a tripping
hazard.
 Confetti cannon – The director also asked for fireworks to be on stage
however because of the danger of this we used a confetti canon instead
as it is just compressed air. It is also kept off stage and is only brought in
when it is needed.
 Champagne and wine bottles – We also had to make sure that all the
wine bottles were empty so that if they were dropped they would not
make a slipping hazard.
