What is the objective of a flame effect risk assessment?

The objective of a flame effect risk assessment primarily focuses on identifying potential hazards associated with the use of flame effects and implementing appropriate safety measures to mitigate those risks. This process involves a thorough evaluation of the environment, audience proximity, materials involved, and the mechanics of the flame effects themselves. By systematically assessing these elements, organizers can ensure that safety protocols are in place, thereby protecting both the audience and performers from the dangers that flame effects might present. This assessment plays a critical role in making informed decisions about the use of flame effects, ensuring that safety remains the top priority during performances.
