There are hazards associated with the use of these devises as with a firework or similar item, some hazards are obvious, others not so.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SITE OWNER TO ENSURE THAT THE ENVIRONMENT AND MANNER IN WHICH THESE PRODUCTS ARE BEING USED IS COMPLETELY SUITABLE AND SAFE.
The following is a list of conditions on which the Enola Gaye Smoke Product is supplied; persons buying and using these devises are required to read.
Any site operator not agreeing to these conditioned will not be supplied.
Any pyrotechnic device generates heat beyond the ignition temperature of every day rubbish i.e. paper, dried vegetation etc. The Enola Gaye Smoke Product units contain the majority of the heat within the casing of the devise during normal operation, however, at the beginning and the end of functioning it is likely that the device will produce some flame, incandescent emissions or a quantity of very hot gas, failure to use the devise properly may result in rupturing of the casing/closures and similar problems.
The term "cold burn" is relative, the smoke grenade may be cooler than the average firework during normal use but this does not in any way imply that the device does not generate heat that may be hazardous to its immediate surroundings.
Because of this the devise must not be used in close proximity (5 metres minimum) to any person or any combustible material.
This safety zone is recommended for guidance only; it is the ultimate responsibility of the site owner to determine the suitability of his/her site for use.
The smoke produced by the devises presents potential hazards in that it has a staining effect on surrounding surfaces and that as with any smoke, concentrations should be kept to a minimum.
The smoke should only be used in the open and never indoors.
Persons suffering from any breathing difficulties should not be exposed to any levels of smoke concentration.
The smoke devises retain heat after they have finished burning, for this reason the use of the devises should be carefully supervised by stewards / marshals who are fully familiar with the safe use of pyrotechnics.
