What considerations are there for children in the audience?

In any performance or event involving flame effects, the presence of children in the audience necessitates special precautions due to their unique vulnerabilities and behaviors. Children may not fully understand the dangers associated with fire, which can lead to increased risks during a performance.

As such, it is essential to have additional safety measures in place specifically designed to protect children. This could include securing a safe distance between the flame effects and the audience, implementing barriers or signage to guide attendees, and ensuring that there is constant supervision and communication to manage the audience's behavior.

The standard’s emphasis on enhanced safety in the context of children's presence aligns with the broader goal of ensuring a safe environment for all attendees, particularly those who may not recognize or appreciate the inherent risks associated with flame effects. By acknowledging the need for special precautions in these situations, event organizers can help prevent accidents and ensure an enjoyable experience for families attending the performance.
