Spiderman’s web of trouble on Broadway has just got stickier. Musical Spiderman Turn Off the Dark has been hit with three serious violations of workplace safety rules for a string of cast member injuries, the U.S. Department of Labour has said. The department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has determined that the much-delayed show's cast members suffered falls or were struck during flying routines "because of improperly adjusted or unsecured safety harnesses." Another fall stemmed from unguarded open-side floors that lacked fall protection, OSHA said in a statement, which ruled that the show's maker, 8 Legged Productions LLC, failed to protect actors from being hit by moving overhead rigging components. A spokesman for the
show said Spiderman remains in compliance with all government
agencies and continues to adhere to all safety protocols. It was the
latest salvo in a series that is turning the show into a Broadway
legend of beleaguered productions, adding to its status as the most
expensive show in the Great White Way's history at a reported cost of
$65 million. — Reuters Life
