Pyrotechnic Display Procedure
The University of
Minnesota permits the display of indoor and outdoor pyrotechnic devices
during special events under the following procedure:
-
Seven working days before the performance of
any
production of any size, the permit applicant shall submit a
pyrotechnics plan to the UMD Environmental Health and Safety Office
(EHSO) at 726-7139 for approval.
-
A copy of the pyrotechnics
plan, EHSO approval and the Duluth Fire Department permit shall be
held by the permittee and made available at the site for safety
personnel, building officials and fire department representatives.
-
Any additions or changes to the pyrotechnics
plan or presentation of these devices must be approved by EHSO prior to
the event.
-
The pyrotechnics plan shall include:
-
The name of the person, group or
organization sponsoring the production.
-
The date and time of the production.
-
The exact location of the production.
-
The name of the pyrotechnics company and the
name of the pyrotechnics operator in charge of the production.
-
All applicable federal and state licenses
and permits.
-
Evidence of the permittee's insurance.
-
The exact number and types of pyrotechnic
devices and materials to be used.
-
Provide a diagram of the production
detailing device locations, fallout radius and distance from the
audience.
-
Provide material safety data sheets (MSDS)
for each type of device.
-
A walk-thru and a representative demonstration
of the pyrotechnics may be required before the plan is approved.
-
Where
the use of certain indoor pyrotechnics requires smoke detectors to be
by-passed or air-handling systems to be placed in smoke purge, the fire
department shall be notified and a fire department representative shall
be present to conduct a fire watch. University personnel responsible
for the life safety systems of the building shall return the systems to
normal operating conditions as soon as possible.
-
In all cases, at least two appropriately rated
fire extinguishers shall be available at each production.
- Unauthorized personnel shall be prevented from
gaining access to the production site, pyrotechnic materials and
devices.
