Smoke Machines. The use of smoke machines is subject to prior approval by the venues and DWTC Venue Infrastructure Health and Safety. Smoke machines can cause smoke detection systems to be triggered at the venues and arrangements need to be made during the use of such equipment by venues engineering to protect from this. Organisers must request permission for the use of such equipment at least ten (10) days prior to Build Up intended use. Failure to advise may result in use of the equipment being denied. The venues require information on the location of the intended use and the timing of the use so that detection equipment can be switched off or monitored. Where such monitoring is required, it may be necessary to ensure the attendance of a DWTC Health and Safety staff which will be charged accordingly. Furthermore, the inclusive timings for the use of smoke and haze machines must be mentioned in the Smoke and Haze Machine Schedule Form Lasers Due to the large variation in pulse length, energy content and wavelength, the hazards associated with lasers varies widely. Three aspects of laser application may influence hazard evaluation and therefore influence control measures, these being; • capability of injuring persons, which may include xxxxx or eye damage • the environment in which the laser is used • the persons operating the laser (if not computer controlled) and the persons who may be exposed The varying classes of laser, under BS EN 60825 are as follows: • Class 1: Safe under all viewing conditions • Class 2: Should be terminated at the end of its useful path, where practicable, and should not be aimed at persons • Class 3A: Competent persons to oversee use of equipment, areas of use should be controlled, avoid reflecting surfaces such as mirrors and lenses • Class 3B: Hazardous to the eye, assess risk to persons and consider physical barriers and personal protective equipment. Only Class 1 and Class 2 lasers will be considered for approval by DWTC Health and Safety. Failure to advise may result in the equipment only being used as an un-powered static display item, where risks to persons are evident. Risk Assessment to be submitted together with Laser Arrival Schedule is ten (10) days prior to Build-Up. Furthermore, the following are required to meet Standards for Laser Safety: • presence of competent Laser Safety Officer • beam exit window height is greater than 2.70 meter. • the persons operating the laser machine is certified and competent. • laser area marked and ...
Smoke Machines c. Pyrotechnic Devices
Smoke Machines. Smoke machines of any type are not permitted in the hall at any time as they will trigger off sensitive fire detection equipment.
Smoke Machines are prohibited in the tavern and cabins, they are only to be used in the “Module Building” or outside. Smoke Machines must be operated with supervision and away from fire hazards like dead grass or leaves.
Smoke Machines. The Hirer shall ensure that smoke machines are not used inside the Pavilion as the use of these will trigger the smoke detectors within the Fire Alarm System.
Smoke Machines. Smoke machines are not permitted in the Hall. The Hall is equipped with Smoke Detectors and the Alarms will be triggered.
