International - The June 2004 issue of Lighting&Sound International magazine (published 9 June 2004) will feature a Technical Focus on the new Working at Height Regulations. PLASA's Health & Safety consultant, Ron Bonner, has been delivering a seminar to the industry on the subject of the new regulations, including at the PALME exhibition in Dubai in February, and at this week's A.C. Lighting North trade show in Leeds. He comments: "This legislation is being forced on our industry - and a number of others - very soon. As so much of the work in entertainment technology is carried out at height, I believe it is vital that professionals working in this industry have an understanding of what is in store for them."

The Technical Focus article will also go on to provide a round-up of chain hoist motors and their control systems. The review will examine standards and safety, common features and requirements, as well as a comprehensive guide to the products and systems available on the market today.

In the same issue, we'll have in-depth reports on the Blue Man Group's new European show, the huge Eurovision 2004 production from Turkey, West Life on tour in the UK, and superstar crooner Claudio Baglioni live in Italy - plus much more.

All Technical Focus articles from L&SI since January 2002 are freely available to view online at the LSI Online website - address below.
