Talking safety

We have set up an e-mail forum for those involved in theatre and the performing arts, as well as exhibition work, to share health and safety information and resources.

The group should not be used for as a marketing tool, but reference to a specific supplier and/or product in response to a request for such would be considered valid. Please be nice to each other; those who are asking for assistance are not fools, they simply know different things to you. :-)

To join the discussion group, enter your e-mail address in the submission box, below.
