Posted: erm... aparently i'm gonna be 'Safety Dave' (why dave? i don't know) for the Notts Uni juggle soc next year.
this means that when we use fire officially (which is once in a blue moon) i have to give everyone a fire safety talk first. this involves how to use equiptment properly as well as telling people to bring suitable clothes and what to do if anything goes wrong. when we do fire practices we mark out an area with red/white tape which you are only allowed to enter when using equiptment. in one corner we have the parrafin, in another corner we have the toys, another corner is for shaking off and the final corner is for lighting. by the toys we keep a fire blanket and fire extinguisher suitable for persons. it may even be worth getting people to sign something to say they've had the safety talk and know procedure before they participate.
that's the official plan anyway. alternatively original smit and myself have set up our own fire toys group in town which meets every week and does it's own thing...
PM me if you want any more info and i'll try an help.
