NEW YORK—BSR E1.32 - 201x, Guide for the Inspection of
Entertainment Industry Luminaires, is available for public review here through 25 October
2010. The document is intended to provide guidance in the inspection of stage
and studio luminaires used in the entertainment industry to evaluate their
safety and any needed maintenance. An employer could write his own safety
inspection procedures from scratch as part of his duty to provide a safe
workplace, but borrowing from or adopting the final version of this document
might be easier and lead to a better set of procedures.
