You should also feel free to respond to the availability blast anyway, as there may have been changes to your schedule since we last heard from you.<br /> <br /> === '''Hold Requests''' ===<br /> You may also receive a “Hold Request” email from the Schedule Team as we encounter particularly busy days in the field. On those days, we are often looking at scheduling no less than 70 - 80 people. Please respond to those emails as soon as you can to help us estimate how many of our Frost Freelancers will be available and to secure your hours for that day. We will then respond that you are on hold for the day.

You’ll need to coordinate to track everyone’s timing while on site so there is no unnecessary overlap. <br /> <br /> Each employee is responsible for clocking their hours with the time clock app. Each employee has been sent separate instructions during their onboarding process. A quick reminder at the beginning and end of each shift will help your crew members remember.<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> === '''Reporting Responsibilities''' ===<br /> <br /> At the end of each event, please take 15-20 minutes to complete the Production Time Sheet; linked here: www.frostproductions.com/timesheet/<br /> This is where you will record everyone’s times along with any notes that require our attention. <br /> <br /> If you have trouble with the site loading, please e-mail the information to timesheet@frostproductions.com.

You must punch out when you leave the job site; not at the end of your scheduled shift. <br /> If you ever forget to punch in or out for a shift, or are having difficulty with the time clock system, please contact '''Payroll@FrostProductions.com''' directly.<br /> <br /> === '''Show Call Reports''' ===<br /> A Show Call Report is required for '''every''' show-call shift. If you work a show call shift with Frost, please take 15 minutes at the end of the event to compose and submit a report immediately upon completion. Please be sure to include the job name/venue, the date, hours worked, a general summary of the event, and any specific information regarding equipment issues or additions. Reports can be submitted using the online form at [http://www.frostproductions.biz/showcall www.frostproductions.com/showcall] or in the body of an email sent to '''Showcalls@FrostProductions.com.'''<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> == &lt;big&gt;'''Crew Leading'''&lt;/big&gt; ==<br /> <br /> === '''Crew Lists''' ===<br /> <br /> The Scheduling Team will send you a Crew List with all pertinent information the day before the event. <br /> The Account Salesperson and Production Manager will also be copied on the crew list email as well if you have any questions. <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> === '''Time Keeping''' ===<br /> <br /> You will need to track the following times for each crew member:<br /> *when your crew members arrive<br /> *any breaks they take when they happen (Be sure to note the beginning and end of any breaks taken)<br /> *when they leave. <br /> Be sure to touch base with any Crew Leaders or Production Managers who may be on site with you but in a different location with a crew. You’ll need to coordinate to track everyone’s timing while on site so there is no unnecessary overlap. <br /> <br /> Each employee is responsible for clocking their hours with the time clock app. Each employee has been sent separate instructions during their onboarding process. A quick reminder at the beginning and end of each shift will help your crew members remember.<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> === '''Reporting Responsibilities''' ===<br /> <br /> At the end of each event, please take 15-20 minutes to complete the Production Time Sheet; linked here: www.frostproductions.com/timesheet/<br /> This is where you will record everyone’s times along with any notes that require our attention. <br /> <br /> If you have trouble with the site loading, please e-mail the information to timesheet@frostproductions.com.

<p>W!k!Admin: </p> <hr /> <div>== &lt;big&gt;Event Rigging Intro&lt;/big&gt; ==<br /> <br /> Welcome to Event Rigging 101 – This is a basic outline of some of the equipment regularly used by Frost Productions. Rigging is the practice of SAFELY suspending objects wherever needed to fulfill the requirements of the event. This regularly includes suspending objects over people and/or in some instances near priceless works of art and therefore, the utmost care must be taken to ensure the safety of everyone involved, start to finish.<br /> <br /> == Common Terminology ==<br /> Here are some common terms and markings that you will need to know and recognize.<br /> <br /> === SWL/WLL ===<br /> Safe Working Load/Working Load Limit--these are interchangeable terms for the same thing: the maximum allowable load for a given piece of equipment. Although the manufacturer has built in a safety factor ranging from 20-100% of the breaking strength, the SWL/WLL must NEVER be exceeded under any circumstance.<br /> <br /> === Safety Factor ===<br /> Refers to the “cushion” given for the loading information. Take care when dealing with multiple parties/persons who might also provide a safety factor, resulting in a severely diminished number.<br /> <br /> === Lateral force ===<br /> AKA Side loading. This is any force that acts perpendicular to gravity. Gravity is our friend but must be treated with respect.<br /> <br /> === Dynamic force ===<br /> Refers to any load subject to movement. This is an important definition and must be taken into account when figuring loads and lifting capacities. Most manufacturers provide charts for static loading only as this is the simplest, and there are innumerable variables to contend with in the real world.<br /> <br /> == Equipment ==<br /> Below is a list of equipment that is used every day, with information on how to use and care for it properly.<br /> <br /> === Round Slings ===<br /> Round slings aka &quot;SpanSets&quot; come in various lengths, and there are two main types: Nylon and GAC. Both consist of a strong core surrounded by a woven jacket with a label outlining SWLs and a viewing slit for internal inspection.<br /> <br /> ==== Nylon ====<br /> Lightweight and pliable with a synthetic core but vulnerable to high temperatures.<br /> <br /> ==== Galvanized Aircraft Cable (GAC) ====<br /> Strong and flexible with a core of wire strands surrounded by nylon. Can tolerate higher temperatures and is thus preferred by most venues, particularly if open-flame candles or pyrotechnics are in use.<br /> <br /> ==== Care and Use ====<br /> As shown, a simple knot in a single sling is the easiest way to transport them to and from events. It will also prevent a “pile of spaghetti” in the case and helps when counting for inventory. Slings should always be examined for any fraying, cuts, or other damage before use. Slings should never be exposed to harsh solvents or chemicals.<br /> [[File:Span-Set.jpg|frame|left]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> There are many ways to sling a truss, some reduce the capacity while others enhance it. Check the tag on the sling for these figures, and find the right one for your particular application.<br /> [[File:SpanSetChokes.png.png|frame|left]]<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> === Truss ===<br /> <br /> Aluminum truss is the most versatile and commonly used apparatus in all event rigging. It is durable, strong, and relatively lightweight, making it ideal for temporary event structures. There are many types of truss but the most common are 12x12” box, 20.5x20.5” box, 12” triangle, ladder, and circular. <br /> <br /> ==== Lifting truss ====<br /> Suspending truss typically involves the use of round slings (SpanSets) of equal length at each end of the span. Additional slings add additional spans. There are also manufactured lifting devices such as the Mega Truss Pick. A span of truss should not exceed 40ft to prevent twisting or bowing of the truss under its own weight<br /> <br /> When slinging (Choking) a truss, the most effective means is a choke at the panel point on the bottom chords and wrapping the top chords, coming to a triangle, into a shackle.<br /> <br /> It is important to refer to load charts provided by the specific manufacturer to get a sense of the SWL of the desired span distance - the greater the span, the lower the capacity. Any overhang outside the span should be considered a cantilever and must be treated differently to the rest of the truss.<br /> When making connections between 2 spans of truss using grapples, the load rating of the new span is reduced by 50-70%.<br /> <br /> ==== Bolting ====<br /> Frost uses plated truss joined together by 5/8” - Grade 8 galvanized bolts. Truss manufacturers recommend these bolts be wrenched snug with reasonable force. NEVER use an impact driver on truss bolts . . . this goes for strikes too.<br /> <br /> ==== Truss Towers====<br /> Towers include the legs of a goal post or box structure or standalone structures with a base plate. Base plates should be completely level and properly weighted.<br /> <br /> ==== Inspection====<br /> Inspect all truss prior to use for any defects, such as twisting, deflection, missing or damaged members, or gouges deeper than halfway into the aluminum tube wall. If defects are found, the truss must be placed out of commission until repaired or replaced.<br /> <br /> === Shackles - Screw Pin Bow Shackles ===<br /> Every shackle, regardless of size, should display the following information or be discontinued from use: <br /> <br /> '''SWL/WLL''' – Safe Working Load/Working Load Limit.<br /> <br /> '''Manufacturer''' – CHINA is '''NOT''' a manufacturer! CM or Crosby are.<br /> <br /> '''Tracing codes''' of the batch of steel, should the product fail under normal conditions.<br /> <br /> &lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;IMAGE HERE&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;<br /> <br /> Each Shackle is forged with a unique pin. '''DO NOT''' mix and match pins. This is the most common faux pas.<br /> The pin only needs to be hand tight to the body of the shackle.<br /> '''A quarter turn back is a myth!'''<br /> <br /> Below shows the correct and incorrect use of shackles in different scenarios:<br /> [[File:ShackleDoDonts.png|frame|center]]<br /> <br /> === Aircraft Cable/Flexible Steel Wire Rope ===<br /> Aircraft cable refers to thin, often 1/8” wire rope usually with a swaged eye at one or both ends. Grip Locks on 1/16” allow for adjustment in the length using a sliding mechanism, which grips the wire and locks it into place. There are many varieties of Grip Lock and all should state the SWL/WLL on it. It is typically between 200-250lbs.<br /> <br /> [[File:AC-GripLocks.png|frame|center]]<br /> <br /> === Beam Clamps ===<br /> Used to attach loads to I-Beams where a round sling may not be appropriate (closed ceilings exposing only the bottom flanges is commonplace). There are two types: the adjustable “jaw style” and the open-faced clamp.<br /> <br /> ==== The jaw style ====<br /> Screws tight to the beam and needs only to be firmly hand tight. This is the preferred clamp to use when any dynamic forces come into play. A standard clamp should be stamped with the WLL. The center point allows a shackle to attach.<br /> <br /> ==== Open-faced beam ====<br /> These clamps attach to the beam by way of a bolt tightened to the flange and may have an eye bolt or straight bolt attached. These are designed primarily for the running of conduit or HVAC systems in construction. They should only ever be used under static loads.<br /> <br /> '''Neither style should ever experience lateral force.'''</div>

<p>W!k!Admin: </p> <hr /> <div>== &lt;big&gt;Event Rigging Intro&lt;/big&gt; ==<br /> <br /> Welcome to Event Rigging 101 – This is a basic outline of some of the equipment regularly used by Frost Productions. Rigging is the practice of SAFELY suspending objects wherever needed to fulfill the requirements of the event. This regularly includes suspending objects over people and/or in some instances near priceless works of art and therefore, the utmost care must be taken to ensure the safety of everyone involved, start to finish.<br /> <br /> == Common Terminology ==<br /> Here are some common terms and markings that you will need to know and recognize.<br /> <br /> === SWL/WLL ===<br /> Safe Working Load/Working Load Limit--these are interchangeable terms for the same thing: the maximum allowable load for a given piece of equipment. Although the manufacturer has built in a safety factor ranging from 20-100% of the breaking strength, the SWL/WLL must NEVER be exceeded under any circumstance.<br /> <br /> === Safety Factor ===<br /> Refers to the “cushion” given for the loading information. Take care when dealing with multiple parties/persons who might also provide a safety factor, resulting in a severely diminished number.<br /> <br /> === Lateral force ===<br /> AKA Side loading. This is any force that acts perpendicular to gravity. Gravity is our friend but must be treated with respect.<br /> <br /> === Dynamic force ===<br /> Refers to any load subject to movement. This is an important definition and must be taken into account when figuring loads and lifting capacities. Most manufacturers provide charts for static loading only as this is the simplest, and there are innumerable variables to contend with in the real world.<br /> <br /> == Equipment ==<br /> Below is a list of equipment that is used every day, with information on how to use and care for it properly.<br /> <br /> === Round Slings ===<br /> Round slings aka &quot;SpanSets&quot; come in various lengths, and there are two main types: Nylon and GAC. Both consist of a strong core surrounded by a woven jacket with a label outlining SWLs and a viewing slit for internal inspection.<br /> <br /> ==== Nylon ====<br /> Lightweight and pliable with a synthetic core but vulnerable to high temperatures.<br /> <br /> ==== Galvanized Aircraft Cable (GAC) ====<br /> Strong and flexible with a core of wire strands surrounded by nylon. Can tolerate higher temperatures and is thus preferred by most venues, particularly if open-flame candles or pyrotechnics are in use.<br /> <br /> ==== Care and Use ====<br /> As shown, a simple knot in a single sling is the easiest way to transport them to and from events. It will also prevent a “pile of spaghetti” in the case and helps when counting for inventory. Slings should always be examined for any fraying, cuts, or other damage before use. Slings should never be exposed to harsh solvents or chemicals.<br /> [[File:Span-Set.jpg|frame|left]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> There are many ways to sling a truss, some reduce the capacity while others enhance it.

Rigging is the practice of SAFELY suspending objects wherever needed to fulfill the requirements of the event. This regularly includes suspending objects over people and/or in some instances near priceless works of art and therefore, the utmost care must be taken to ensure the safety of everyone involved, start to finish.<br /> <br /> == Common Terminology ==<br /> Here are some common terms and markings that you will need to know and recognize.<br /> <br /> === SWL/WLL ===<br /> Safe Working Load/Working Load Limit--these are interchangeable terms for the same thing: the maximum allowable load for a given piece of equipment. Although the manufacturer has built in a safety factor ranging from 20-100% of the breaking strength, the SWL/WLL must NEVER be exceeded under any circumstance.<br /> <br /> === Safety Factor ===<br /> Refers to the “cushion” given for the loading information. Take care when dealing with multiple parties/persons who might also provide a safety factor, resulting in a severely diminished number.<br /> <br /> === Lateral force ===<br /> AKA Side loading. This is any force that acts perpendicular to gravity. Gravity is our friend but must be treated with respect.<br /> <br /> === Dynamic force ===<br /> Refers to any load subject to movement. This is an important definition and must be taken into account when figuring loads and lifting capacities. Most manufacturers provide charts for static loading only as this is the simplest, and there are innumerable variables to contend with in the real world.<br /> <br /> ==== Equipment ====<br /> Below is a list of equipment that is used every day, with information on how to use and care for it properly.<br /> <br /> === Round Slings ===<br /> Round slings aka &quot;SpanSets&quot; come in various lengths, and there are two main types: Nylon and GAC.
