Typical tasks include loading and unloading trucks, setting up and dismantling technical equipment, stage elements, exhibition stands, furniture and seating or safety barriers. Stagehands always work under the guidance and supervision of crew leaders or trained technicians and are not responsible for the work carried out. Each stagehand has personal protective equipment, which includes a helmet, work shoes and gloves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the job requirements for a stagehand?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To work as a stagehand, no special qualifications are required. However, physical fitness is a must: for example to set up a stage or load cases into a truck. In-house training on work safety and industry requirements is also required. For example, once you learn how to handle cables in television productions or acquire basic knowledge of scaffolding you will be able to work as a steelhand.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the difference between a stagehand and a roadie?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A roadie and a stagehand can perform the same tasks. However, a roadie often goes on tour whereas a stagehand is a locally employed helper who works on different events in the same area.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the difference between a stagehand and an event technician?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In contrast to stagehands, an event technician requires training that usually lasts 3 years. The training provides in-depth knowledge of planning and implementing video, sound and lighting for events and productions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stagehands often work alongside technicians. If they have more experience in the areas of AV, sound and\/or lighting or have acquired this over time, they can also work as technical assistants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does a steelhand do?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like stagehands, steelhands are part of the support staff in a crew. A steelhand is responsible for the scaffolding work. He or she assists in the assembly and dismantling of stages, FOH towers, trusses and other scaffolding constructions under the supervision of a technician or scaffolding erector. Steelhands have a basic knowledge of materials, are familiar with scaffolding procedures and know, for example, how to stack scaffolding material correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other special support crew include Eventhands, Messehands, Backlinehands, Cablehands, Decohands, Cateringhelp and Wardrobe. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Support staff &#8211; including stagehands &#8211; are one of the three main functions in an event crew.
