The Health and Safety Guide for Film, TV and Theater

This guide, formerly titled "Stage Fright: Health & Safety in the Theater", has been updated and expanded to address the unique health and safety problems that threaten anyone working in the entertainment industries - film, television, theatre, theme parks, circuses, parades, firework displays, and beyond.

Monona Rossol exposes the hazards of theatrical paints, theatrical makeup, pigments, dyes, plastics, solvents, woodworking, welding, asbestos, fog and other special effects, and offers practical solutions to these dangers.

The book outlines precautions to take against hazardous materials, recommendations for proper protective equipment, steps to comply with existing health and safety laws, safety checklists for shops and classrooms, strategies for accommodating workers with disabilities, and agencies and organizations to contact for help.
