paulears Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 How about this risk assessment included with a rider RISK----------------------CONTROL MEASUREWhiplash of the face This has been rehearsed and is very unlikely to happen. The actual thing going on is an unlit cigarette being 'whipped' out of the mouth! Sounds, er, interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerry davies Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Send it back with: "Lit or unlit....Fire RA please!" They will probably take you seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrummerJonny Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 how long will it be until I have to RA my Fag Breaks: RISK: Death from Smoking Related IllnessLIKELIHOOD: 4SEVERITY: 5TOTAL: 20CONTROL MEASURES: Attempts Could be made to quit smoking. however these are unlikely to succeed. RISK AFTER CONTROL: 20 Which I believe means I'd be stopped from having a fag break... And thats before the risk of burns, fire, exposure to the elements.... still rather smoke it than have it whipped out my mouth though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khali Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I used to play in a tribute band where the two frontmen performed this stunt during the song Rawhide. Rehearsal or not, the guy with the cigarette in his mouth occasionally got bullwhipped in the face, but by gum, he were a trooper and he never complained about how drunk the guy with the whip was. Can someone explain why the venue needs show content such as this risk assessing? Is it to verify that the performers know what they're doing, and have considered all the possible consequences of their actions? Is it just to warn venue owners what to expect? Is it commonplace nowadays? I'm more or less retired from live performance now, but if I want to work seriously as a musician again, will I have to provide risk assessments for every aspect of my being in someone elses building in charge of a drumkit? Along with appropriate public liability insurance, PAT certs for everything with a plug, a manual handling cert for humping kit to and from the van, working at height cert for getting on and off a stage or riser safely etc etc.... All together now...."it's 'elf & safety gawn maaaaaaaaaad!" Or do they just tell me all this to prevent me from dusting off the old kit and giving it another go......??? Come on....I wasn't that bad, was I??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
