What does the documentation for flame effects need to include besides operating instructions?

The documentation for flame effects is critical to ensure safety and compliance with the NFPA 160 Standard. Including written descriptions of all flame effects serves a fundamental purpose. These descriptions provide detailed information about the nature of the flame effects being used, including their design, methodology of operation, and expected behavior during performances. This information is crucial for both operators and safety personnel to understand the risks involved and to ensure that everyone involved can appropriately prepare for and manage the flame effects during shows. The comprehensive documentation helps to facilitate training, informs maintenance and operation practices, and aids in compliance with safety regulations.
