What is the maximum distance that glowing or flaming particles should be from the audience?

The maximum distance that glowing or flaming particles should be from the audience is 10 feet. This guideline is established to ensure the safety of spectators during fireworks and special effects displays, as glowing or flaming particles can pose a risk of burns or other injuries if they come too close to individuals. Maintaining a distance of 10 feet provides a buffer that helps to mitigate this risk, allowing for an exciting but safe experience for the audience.

In the context of this safety standard, distances greater than 10 feet would typically be recommended for other types of hazards, but specifically for glowing or flaming particles, 10 feet has been determined to be an appropriate compromise between safety and the desired effect of the display. Ensuring that these particles are within this limit helps to prevent accidents and ensures compliance with safety regulations.
