NEW YORK – ANSI E1.15-2006, Entertainment Technology – Recommended Practices and Guidelines for the Assembly and Use of Theatrical Boom & Base Assemblies, is being considered for reaffirmation, with the ESTA Foundation offering public review forms for public comment on its website through Jan. 3, 2011. The public review forms are available at http://www.esta.org/tsp/documents/public_review_docs.php . The existing standard is available for purchase from The ESTA Foundation at http://www.estafoundation.org/pubs.htm . List price is $15. Discounts are available.
ANSI E1.15 gives advice on boom and base assemblies, simple ground-support devices for lighting equipment and accessories. If the assembly is tall, not plumb, loaded unevenly or likely to get run into by stage wagons or performers, there is substantial risk. This document offers advice to lower or eliminate that risk.
