Fire Art: Safety Plan

A safety plan is also required as part of the laminating process. It should describe all the measures that your crew will employ to ensure that your installation will be safe for participants, performers and crew, both during and after construction, and during strike and clean-up. At a minimum, it should cover:


Site Planning

  1. Illumination and protection from vehicle traffic for all elements of the installation, including the artwork itself, fuel supplies and fuel storage, operating positions, generators, etc.
  2. Types, sizes and placement of fire extinguishers or other fire suppression means that will be kept on hand.
  3. Location and contents of first aid kit(s).
  4. List of Material Safety Data Sheets to be kept on hand.
  5. Safety training your crew members have.
  6. Safety-specific crew roles and responsibilities.


Safety procedures and protocols

  1. Fueling procedures: how do you ensure that fueling is done safely?
  2. Daily safety check: what conditions do you check for?
  3. Operating procedures: what conditions do you watch for while operating?
  4. Safety features, if any, built in to the installation
  5. Safety perimeters, and how they are enforced


Emergency Response Plan

No matter how comprehensive your Safety Plan, things still go wrong. Your Emergency Response Plan should list all the ways things may go wrong and expose your crew or other participants to potential injury, and how your crew will respond when they do. At a minimum it should cover:

  1. Emergency shut-off/shut-down procedures
  2. Response to fuel leaks
  3. Response to liquid fuel spills, small and large
  4. Response to unplanned fires, small and large
  5. Response to damage (or incipient damage) caused by wind, vehicle collision or other physical forces
  6. Response to hazardous material exposure of crew, performer or participant
  7. Response to injury sustained by crew, performer or participant


Leave No Trace Plan

The Artist, Leave No Trace Lead and crew are responsible for all clean up at the art installation site, both nightly and when the Burning Man event ends. Your Leave No Trace plan describes how you will accomplish this. At a minimum it should cover:

  1. Nightly clean-up procedure
  2. End-of-event clean-up procedure
  3. Emergency clean-up procedures (e.g., for liquid fuel spills)
  4. Clean-up tools and materials to be used
