How experienced is your consultant with performing arts spaces? I don't believe OSHA mentions any kind of trip lip as suitable edge protection in any of the Chapter 1926 regulations. I'd ask your consultant to show you the relevant passage, and any references to past OSHA rulings regarding the edges of performance areas. <br>
<br>As some others have mentioned, we do occasionally provide a illuminated edge when the production warrants it. Back in the pre-LED days, this was a string of twinkle lights hidden behind a flat piece of 1x3. Lamps at the center and quarter marks were colored.<br>
