Tools of the Trade / Fire extinguishers on the catwalks
« on: Jan 29, 2008, 07:39 pm »
So I've been pondering this one for a while and figured I would see if anyone has some advice. I have the policy in my theatres that no lose items are allowed on the catwalks above the audience. We have shelves and bins at all of the catwalk access points to put any items into which are not secured to your body. i.e. cell phones, tools, pocket change ect. However I also have fire extinguishers in the catwalks. These are hanging from various locations. Should there be some sort of lanyard to secure the fire extinguisher to a belt loop or possibly a shoulder strap if someone has to use the fire extinguisher on the catwalk while people are below? Or would the lanyard pose a hindrance for response time when suppressing a fire?
