CO₂ safety training for theatres
Luminous now offers CO₂ training for theatre and live event venues as part of our expanding gas management support. Our theory-based CO₂ Safety & Awareness Course is designed for technical and venue staff who work around CO₂ systems and need a clear understanding of the associated hazards, responsibilities and safe working practices.
These sessions are designed to improve hazard awareness, safe handling practices and emergency response procedures within performance environments.
CO₂ and Live Productions
CO₂ is widely used across in theatre special effects, from atmospheric effects to pneumatic applications.
While CO₂ is a familiar part of many production environments, it presents many risks if it is stored, transported or used incorrectly. Understanding these risks is an important part of maintaining a safe working environment backstage.
