This is the type of attention that is required to address these safety and health hazards. We place great emphasis on the Risk Management approach and begin with Hazard Identification. After this professional identification we analyze the hazardous exposures and develop programs and training to help schools manage the risks in order to make them acceptable.

We evaluate every single aspect and operation (i.e. walls, surfaces, floors, curtains, doors, makeup, rigging, exits, and fire prevention). This approach or method assists us in maintaining the theater and its environments in a safe and healthy condition. Three major risk management aspects to consider at all times: keep the audience safe, keep the performers and technicians safe, and keep the house safe. This reduces and controls the liability. We often use a magnifying glass to search for hazards, and a stethoscope to listen to bearings on motors and sheaves in blocks. Levels and lasers are used to make sure the alignment is correct for the safe and efficient operation of the mechanical equipment.

ISETSA's risk management approach to theater in general and the secondary educational theater in particular is, in our opinion, the only risk management program in the world that that applies the principles of risk management to the secondary educational theater and its activities and programs.
