Author Topic: Candy licence Mark Hajducki Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: Edinburgh, UK Registered: May 2003 posted 06-01-2010 01:02 PM                     quote: Thomas Pitt Never heard of 'pest registers' here The log kept by the pest control contractors is probably the closest thing to this. quote: Thomas Pitt the fire code requires all public buildings to have a notice informing people of the fire procedure. The notice should show where the nearest alarm point is, and also the assembly point where people gather after being evacuated. Don't think I've ever seen a 'fire muster point' sign in the actual location, though. These notices tend be generic (except in the largest buildings) and have a gap for the muster point to be added. There is usually the helpful advice not to use lifts (elevators) even in buildings without them. Labelling the assembly point would be difficult as it should be away from the building (and often not under the same ownership).  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-01-2010 01:34 PM                        quote: The reason for this is if it's a very dark part of the film and people are trying to get to and from their seats, they would not want to trip over the steps or seats! I wish it was not so easy for people to be idiots and get paid for it. A smart person, if they couldn't see, would wait for their eyes to adjust or wait for a brighter part of the picture, or failing that, would ask for help from an employee (who should be equipped with a small flashlight and trained on how to use it discreetly).  |  IP: Logged Caleb Johnstone-Cowan Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 593 From: London, UK Registered: Mar 2006 posted 06-01-2010 03:25 PM                     The reason for secondary lighting being on throughout the feature is to aid in the evacuation of a cinema, especially if the main electricity supply is interrupted and/or the automation fails to stop the show in an emergency (it's happened to me). In the UK the legal minimum seems to be all exit routes illuminated whether that's via tivoli lighting in the floor or dim fibreoptics from the ceiling. The trip/fall reason is new because it has became easier to claim accident compensation in the UK over the last 15 years at least, and probably means lights are brighter rather than they are present were they were not before.  |  IP: Logged Phil Blake Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 558 From: esperance western australia Registered: Nov 2003 posted 06-02-2010 02:27 AM                        We do have emergency lighting throughout the whole building , should the power go out emergency battery powered lighting turns on and we also have diesel genset we can fire up if need . back to the muster point , i recently inspected our local town concert hall and our local swimming pool/fitness center , both owned and operated by the same local government body , neither have muster point signs  |  IP: Logged Ian Parfrey Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1049 From: Imbil Australia 26 deg 27' 42.66" S 152 deg 42' 23.40" E Registered: Feb 2009 posted 06-02-2010 02:58 AM                     Phil. That seems to be endemic in local council circles. I work in a council run building and if it were run by a "civilian" as opposed to council, the joint would be shut down. Disabled access is awful, the stairwells don't meet the building codes...the list goes on. But you may have a hook there. If you document those locations you mentioned - photographs &tc - and go and front the council you might get some satisfaction. On the other hand, if the relevant officer is an arsehole, it may just make your life more difficult. Either way, it is just plain wrong that council do not have to meet their own guidelines. ... now, maybe a phone call to the local press pointing out these "anomalies" ....  |  IP: Logged
