| LOLER |
|
| The Jersey Opera House is striving to meet the requirements of The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998.
Would all incoming companies ensure that they have in their possession the correct documentation for any lifting equipment that is being brought in. Lifting equipment not having the correct documentation and test certificates will not be permitted to enter the building. |
| Portable Appliance Testing |
|
| Would all in coming companies ensure that all electrical equipment to be brought into the Opera house has been tested within the last twelve months, and ensure the equipment is marked and records are carried for inspection. Electrical equipment deemed to be in an unsafe condition would not be permitted to enter the building. But for a small fee we can PAT test all items. |
| Fire Regulations |
|
| The States of Jersey Fire Regulations require a Public Exemption Certificate for all performances, which use pyrotechnics, smoke machines and the smoking of cigarettes. If your performance contains such effects please contact the Technical manager as soon as possible. Applications received any later than three weeks before first performance will not be granted. All areas backstage are designated No Smoking Areas. |
| Please note: From 2007 Jersey will introduce non-smoking law in all enclosed work places. |
| Pyrotechnics |
|
| If you are bringing pyrotechnics into Jersey an Import Licence and Port d’arm certificate will be required. This also applies to fire arms unless they are soft metal blank-firers. These certificates need to be obtained in Jersey and we will therefore require full details of any such items you intend to bring. It is worth noting that there is a very good local supplier for most pyrotechnics. Applications received any later than three weeks before first performance will not be granted. |
| Vehicle Size (touring companies) |
|
| We may need to organize a police escort from the harbour to the theatre depending on the size of your vehicle. Please therefore ensure that all details of the vehicles you tour are provided to us as soon as possible. |
