Overhead power lines have a limit of approach, which is a safe distance that workers must keep while working. If workers need to work near electrical lines, the employer and workers must know the voltage carried in those lines. Workers must maintain the minimum distances specified in the following table. The limits of approach also apply to equipment such as ladders, scaffolds, booms, forklifts, aerial lifts, sets, cranes, and other rigging.
A wide variety of products are used to create photographic dust effects in motion picture and television production. This fact sheet has been developed to inform and assist production is when using these products. It is important that productions fully understand the potential effects of exposure, especially if harmful ingredients are present.
MINERAL PRODUCTS
“Fuller’s Earth” is the most common “product” used for photographic dust effects in the film industry. Unfortunately, the contents can vary widely from different suppliers. The term “Fuller’s Earth” has neither a compositional nor a mineralogical connotation but is usually understood to be a non-plastic variety of kaolin (clay) containing aluminum magnesium silicate. It is sometimes synonymous with montmorillonite, kaolin, kaolinite, floridin, bentonite, wilkonite and halloysite. These products and others, e.g., pyrophyllite, pyrolite and earth are all used to create photographic dust effects.
ORGANIC PRODUCTS
Photographic dust effects are also created by the use of organic products. Common organic products include wheat flour, rice flour and crushed nutshells. Individuals with allergies to these products should use caution. As you can see there are many different product(s) available and you need to understand the specific product being used. Each has its own unique properties and potentially adverse effects.
Actsafe’s new Location Hazard Identification Worksheet
UPDATED MAY 2021
This worksheet is the first step in performing a risk assessment and should be completed for each filming location. Members of the locations department can use this worksheet to document potential hazards on the worksite. Once completed, this worksheet is to be handed off to the appropriate production personnel so that they can complete the risk assessment.
