Key Points

  
Measures that can be taken to avoid special effects [e.g. practice foam and gunge] from causing contaminated land include:
  • Ensuring that an appropriate risk assessment is undertaken and control measures put in place before the effect takes place.
  • Ensure clearance measures are put in place to remove the materials which have been used.
  • Substances which are going to be used in special effects must be stored safely and securely as to prevent pollution.
  • Ensure potentially harmful substances which are used are segregated from the general waste streams.
  • Ensure permission has been granted from the land owner/landlord before commencing with the effect.
  • Ensure land is reinstated where explosion have occurred and debris has been cleared.
