Control Box Instructions

Isolation and use of a smoke machine may only be carried out under the following conditions:

• Isolation is permitted only when theatre building wardens (Leigh or Stephen) are present.
• The person responsible for isolation has been briefed by Stephen or Leigh.
• A risk assessment has been completed, addressing the use of a smoke machine and isolation of smoke detectors.
