20+ years as a technical director at a theater where among many other things I’ve had to deal with the safety aspects of:

• Prop firearms
• prop knives & swords
• stage combat
• fire & smoke effects
• objects like hammers, bricks, rocks, etc. thrown or swung at actors
• Bricks and other objects falling onto actors from heights up to 15 feet
• Sparks & other electrical effects
• collapsing sets, sometimes with actors on/under them
• falls through trap doors
• glass bottles, ceramic vases, etc. broken over actors heads

Through a number of these I’ve also consulted with film & theater safety experts, fire departments, building/electrical inspectors, etc.
