Notify tech ops that you are ready for check in
Tech ops will be busy during this time and if we are occupied in another venue, we wont be able to help. Best practice would be to book the check in the day before via an email to help.techops@nida.edu.au
Before items leave the venue they are to be checked in by a tech ops staff member, once checked in, immediately return the equipment can then be returned to its correct storage location. The time for the the check in needs to be booked with tech ops in advance and can take up to half an hour.
Equipment locations can be found in Cheqroom, L1 storage location indicates broad location and L2 storage location indicates the room - please do not just leave equipment outside tech prep/lighting cages unless directly instructed to by a member of tech ops staff.
Any Broken equipment noticed on check in, please flag in cheqroom with details and let the tech ops staff member know.
