Razvedrilna tehnologija - Kodeks ravnanja - 5. del: Dvigovanje in premikanje pri dejavnostih v prireditveni industriji
Ta dokument podaja sklop smernic za postopke dvigovanja in premikanja v zvezi s stroji in strojno opremo, ki se jih uporablja na odrskih in produkcijskih prizoriščih za dogodke.
Za namene tega dokumenta se ne razlikuje med vrvišči, ki jih poznamo iz prireditvene industrije, in postopki dvigovanja in premikanja v gledališčih.
Ta prizorišča med drugim vključujejo gledališča, večnamenske dvorane, studie, produkcijske prostore za film, televizijo ali radio, koncertne dvorane, kongresne centre, šole, razstavna središča, sejemska središča, muzeje, diskoteke, zabaviščne parke, športna prizorišča in gledališča na prostem.
Dogodki so na primer, koncerti, predstave, kongresi, razstave, predstavitve, demonstracije, filmska ali televizijska snemanja itd.
Ta dokument obravnava uporabo strojev v industriji dogodkov, vključno s stroji, opredeljenimi v točki j) člena 1.2 Direktive o strojih (2006/42/ES): »stroji, namenjeni za premikanje izvajalcev med umetniškimi predstavami«
Za namene tega dokumenta strojna oprema pomeni tehnično opremo in naprave, ki se uporabljajo za operacije v odrskih in produkcijskih prizoriščih v industriji dogodkov. Ta oprema se uporablja za dvigovanje, spuščanje in premikanje bremen, kar lahko med drugim vključuje sceno ali predmete, nosilne sisteme, elemente razsvetljave, avdiovizualne elemente, zvočno opremo ali izvajalce.
Tipične operacije dvigovanja in premikanja lahko med drugim vključujejo:
– dvigala v avditorijih;
– kompenzacijska dvigala;
– sisteme stabilizatorjev (z ročnim ali motornim pogonom);
– svetilne letve;
– premične svetlobne stolpe;
– premične odrske ploščadi (odrski vozovi);
– premične proskenijske oboke;
– dvigala za orkester;
– točkovni dvižni mehanizem;
– verižni dvižni mehanizem
– projekcijske zaslone (z ročnim ali motornim pogonom);
– dvigala za shranjevanje scene;
– stranske in zaodrne kulise;
– fazna dvigala;
– nagibna odrska tla;
– dvigala odrske lopute.
Smernice v tem dokumentu se uporabljajo tudi za strojno opremo, ki temelji na novih tehnologijah, ali za posebno zasnovane naprave, ki niso posebej navedene v tem dokumentu, vseeno pa delujejo na podoben način ali se uporabljajo za podobne namene, kot so opisani zgoraj.

Introduction
This document has been prepared by CEN/TC 433/WG 4 with the aim to produce a code of practice for
lifting and motion operations within the event industry. All references to lifting include motion.
This document intends to provide general guidelines for venues, operators, production management,
technical directors, technicians, manufacturers, performers and others working in the event industry for
local, national and international projects. It should facilitate a smooth process and a safe work
environment when workers are involved in assembly, use and dismantling operations. This document
does not provide details in regard to specific lifting and motion operations.
A project in the event industry always starts with an artistic concept that needs to be translated to a
technical solution. This creates a balance between the solution and the artistic performance. To be able
to achieve the artistic concept safely, this document intends to clarify the many details that need to be
addressed, such as:
— skills knowledge and experience that may be appropriate for those involved;
— the structural capacity and integrity of the venue and other supporting elements;
— documentation and operation requirements;
— steps for safe assembly, use and dismantling of machinery and equipment;
— custom equipment and equipment selection.
Specifically, when selecting machinery and control systems, this document provides guidelines for the
selection of equipment labelled under the references described under EN 17206:2020 Entertainment
technology — Machinery for stages and other production areas — Safety requirements and inspections and
equipment without such labels and custom built machinery.
Additionally, this document addresses details of situations that give might rise to danger, such as:
— event industry specific loads (lights, sound, set, video);
— static or moving loads above people;
— supporting structures and load distribution;
— general guidelines on moving or flying performers, rescue procedures and flight path.
Besides the technical requirements, this code of practice describes the process of selecting and using
lifting machinery in the event industry and the steps that shall be considered before any lifting operations
can take place.
In addition to the flowchart provided, this document includes some references that may be useful relating
to:
— the requirements for all actions specified in the flowchart, see Annex A through H;
— examples of possible responsibilities of the technicians involved in the lifting operation, see Annex I.
The process and flow chart describe several preparatory phases and the lifting operation itself. Each
action specifies who bears responsibility and, if applicable, the normative references.
The process description is based on a large-scale production for the event industry. Smaller productions
with less complex movements can follow the same process and structure combining some of the phases.
1 Scope
This code of practice provides a set of guidelines for lifting and motion operations related to machinery
and machinery installations used in staging and production facilities for events.
This document is pertinent to all the machinery phases, assembly, commissioning, setting, operation and
dismantling employed in the event industry including machinery defined in point j, Article 1.2 of the
Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC): “machinery intended to move performers during artistic
performances”.
This document also applies to machinery and machinery installations based on new technologies or
specially designed installations which are not expressly mentioned here but which nevertheless operate
in a similar manner or are meant for similar purposes to those listed above.
This document does not provide specific details but is intended to provide general guidelines on planning
and the process of lifting and motion operations.
