How frequently should flame effects be monitored during an event?

Monitoring flame effects continuously during operation is crucial for ensuring the safety of the audience, performers, and crew, as well as maintaining control over the flame effects throughout the event. This approach allows for prompt detection of any anomalies or malfunctions that may occur, such as unexpected flame behavior, extinguishing of flames, or changes in environmental conditions that could affect safety. Continuous monitoring ensures immediate corrective actions can be taken if necessary, thereby minimizing the risk of accidents and ensuring compliance with safety standards.

In contrast, monitoring only at specific times, such as at the beginning of the event, after each performance segment, or hourly, may lead to lapses in safety oversight. During live events, conditions can change rapidly, and relying on intermittent checks could result in potential hazards going unnoticed. Thus, maintaining an ongoing vigilance is paramount in effectively managing flame effects in any performance setting.
