eldar Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Hello all I am looking for information on regulations for fire proofing set and drapes. I have heard lots of rumours that are beginning to contradict each other so I am looking for the hard and fast rules of what in a theatre must be made flame proof. Is it just canvas set, or wooden set too? As a bit of background, I work for a brand new arts centre which is a converted grade two listed barn. Obviously the whole building is wood! and I have lots of bits of set that I have no idea if they are flame proof or not, or even if they need to be. I need to know what are the rules on what should be flame proof/ retardant and the best ways of doing it, -sprays or professional treatments. Any info or pointers to web sites would be fab. cheers me dears Eldar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Your best source of information is going to be the Yellow book - 'Technical Standards for Places of Entertainment' from the ABTT or etnow.com. You must also talk to your local licencing officer as it has a direct effect on your licence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilly Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 The "Yellow Book" is definitely the place to look. A fire risk assesment for your building would be a good starting point for discussions with the licensing officer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
