沒安全鞋別想上濱海劇院工作

這是新加坡去年新通過的法律，沒有安全鞋(鐵頭鞋)就無法上舞台工作，所以進劇場第一件事情是先檢查鞋，不合格請到旁邊報鞋號大小，然後由貼心的濱海劇院提供鐵頭鞋替換，感覺就像是去保齡球館打球的意思，以下是他們的規定條文：

Health and Safety

Here I like to highlight that a new law has taken effect in Singapore on 1 Sep 2011, which requires all personnel (local or foreign) who will be working / setting up / tearing down on our stages, to wear safety shoes. The need to wear safety shoes will include any artistic / creative / admin personnel, including , designers or tour manager, who wish to set foot onstage any time during setting up, tearing down, or when any technical adjustments are being made onstage.

With new regulation, we would like to highlight to you that your company members will need to bring the necessary safety shoes for their use during the production period in Singapore. There are penalties that are imposed by the Health and Safety authorities if this regulation is not adhered to, so we really appreciate your cooperation and understanding in this matter.

The basic requirements of a pair of safety shoes as indicated in Singapore Standards for Safety Footwear (SS513: Part 1: 2005) are as follows:

a)      Low shoe design (but preferably covering ankle for added protection)

b)      Made from leather and other materials, excluding all rubber or all polymeric footwear

c)      Safety toecap to protect toes from impact and compression

d)     non-removable insole component not less than 2.0 mm; and

e)      electrically insulating footwear
