Common use of Smoke Machines Clause in Contracts

Smoke Machines. The use of smoke machines is subject to prior approval by the venues and DWTC Venue Infrastructure Health and Safety. Smoke machines can cause smoke detection systems to be triggered at the venues and arrangements need to be made during the use of such equipment by venues engineering to protect from this. Organisers must request permission for the use of such equipment at least ten (10) days prior to Build Up intended use. Failure to advise may result in use of the equipment being denied. The venues require information on the location of the intended use and the timing of the use so that detection equipment can be switched off or monitored. Where such monitoring is required, it may be necessary to ensure the attendance of a DWTC Health and Safety staff which will be charged accordingly. Furthermore, the inclusive timings for the use of smoke and haze machines must be mentioned in the Smoke and Haze Machine Schedule Form Lasers Due to the large variation in pulse length, energy content and wavelength, the hazards associated with lasers varies widely. Three aspects of laser application may influence hazard evaluation and therefore influence control measures, these being; • capability of injuring persons, which may include xxxxx or eye damage • the environment in which the laser is used • the persons operating the laser (if not computer controlled) and the persons who may be exposed The varying classes of laser, under BS EN 60825 are as follows: • Class 1: Safe under all viewing conditions • Class 2: Should be terminated at the end of its useful path, where practicable, and should not be aimed at persons • Class 3A: Competent persons to oversee use of equipment, areas of use should be controlled, avoid reflecting surfaces such as mirrors and lenses • Class 3B: Hazardous to the eye, assess risk to persons and consider physical barriers and personal protective equipment. Only Class 1 and Class 2 lasers will be considered for approval by DWTC Health and Safety. Failure to advise may result in the equipment only being used as an un-powered static display item, where risks to persons are evident. Risk Assessment to be submitted together with Laser Arrival Schedule is ten (10) days prior to Build-Up. Furthermore, the following are required to meet Standards for Laser Safety: • presence of competent Laser Safety Officer • beam exit window height is greater than 2.70 meter. • the persons operating the laser machine is certified and competent. • laser area marked and close off. • sufficient Laser warning signs. • emergency and key switch at the control unit Radioactive Materials Radioactive materials must not be brought into the Dubai World Trade Centre without prior written permission by the DWTC Health and Safety Venue Infrastructure, via the Event Planner. The exhibitor must provide details of the product to the Event Planner at least 2 weeks prior to the event. These details will then be forwarded DWTC Health and Safety. Following due consideration, approval will either be given or denied. Radioactive goods will not be permitted at the venues until an approval has been received from DWTC Venue Infrastructure Health and Safety. Where such materials are to be used, it is the organiser’s responsibility to ensure that it is controlled by competent persons. With such hazardous material, it is recommended that the organiser ensures that control measures, competent persons and contingency plans are considered and provided in advance of the event
