Rigging Safety Awareness Seminar for Singapore

	Jasper van der Sluis leads the "Rigging Safety Awareness" seminar in Singapore.

By listening to the Singaporean entertainment industry and boosted with an ongoing awareness of rigging safety in this industry, Loud Technologies Asia (LTA) took the lead in organizing as what was named the "Rigging Safety Awareness" seminar in their brand new showroom and training facility which was opened only recently and was used as seminar room for the very first time.

This seminar was organized in conjunction with Prolyte Asia Pacific (PAP) and was conducted by technical manager Jasper van der Sluis. This was the first time this kind of seminar was presented, and although it was under the "Prolyte campus" umbrella, Colin Quek owner and managing director of LTA stated; Although we are the Prolyft Service Point for Singapore and dedicated dealer for Prolyte, Doughty, and Protos load measuring systems we believe that it is important to show as many aspects of safe rigging in general regardless of the brand or country of origin. And making people from our industry aware of important day to day rigging which can result in unexpected outcomes. Among others, it was shown by using load cells how load(s) can react on a truss which is suspended from three chain hoists and by moving the load over the truss, which can easy happen when, for example, hoist are not running at the same speed (which can happen when old and new hoist are used/mixed) or have different loads to carry (for example, cable cantilever) these and other factors are all creating drastic loading variations and which can result in overloading the hoist and truss."
