Fire Safety Guidelines
Listen to the Fire Safety delegates.
Ensure hair is wet or covered before entering the fire area
only perform tricks that have been attempted without fire
only wear natural fibres or non-flammable clothing (cotton, wool, denim etc.)
Be aware of what is happening around you. Especially children, animals and
people with impaired decision making skills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no fire-breathing
do not light up if there are already a maximum number of people in the space
do not ask to light off other people’s equipment (people can offer, but not ask)
(this stops people from walking into other people’s patterns)
do not do non-fire twirling unless it is glow or in a well lit area.
if there is a problem with any of the equipment (getting too hot, etc.) inform
the person in charge of safety immediately.
You must prove my competence with a piece of equipment from the SURCAS
Fire Safety Delegate prior to participating in the activities regardless of prior
experience. If I have any doubts or questions after this is complete, I will
immediately seek instruction or advice from the SURCAS Fire Safety
Delegate (as specified in the SURCAS Aerial Safety Policy).
Only twirl with equipment that has been approved by the SURCAS Fire Safety
Delegate
