What type of arming is needed when cast members are in the hazard area before or after arming?

In scenarios where cast members are present in the hazard area before or after the arming of flame effects, a positive manual enable is essential. This procedure emphasizes the need for an intentional and deliberate action to arm the flame effects, ensuring that all personnel are safely managed and aware of the potential hazards.

A positive manual enable increases safety by requiring an operator to consciously confirm that it is safe to arm the system, providing an additional layer of oversight and preventing any accidental activation that could occur if the system were armed automatically. By having a manual process, the operators can ensure that the area is clear of individuals and that all safety protocols are being adhered to before arming the flame effects.

This approach significantly reduces the risk of unintended ignition or accidents, thereby prioritizing the safety of everyone involved in the production.
