Fire Acts Performer Public Liability Insurance enquiries can involve fire breathing, fire eating, fire dancing, fire juggling, poi, staff work, choreographed flame effects, fuel handling, audience separation, venue permissions, rehearsals, setup, pack-down and event safety procedures.

Why Fire Performers May Need Public Liability Insurance

Fire performers may work in environments where audience members, venue staff, event organisers, other performers and members of the public are nearby. Fire props, fuel handling, crowd distance, wind, indoor restrictions and venue conditions can all affect the risk profile.

Public liability insurance may be relevant where a third party alleges injury or property damage connected with a fire act, rehearsal, setup, movement of equipment or pack-down activity.

A specialist broker may ask about the type of act, fire props used, fuel type, performance locations, indoor or outdoor work, safety controls, previous claims and whether any staff, assistants or marshals are involved.

Fire Props, Fuel And Performance Safety

Fire acts can involve lit props, specialist fuels, torches, fire poi, staffs, fans, hoops, extinguishers, storage containers, safety equipment and controlled performance areas.

Insurers may want to understand how fuel is stored and handled, whether fire extinguishers are available, how performance zones are marked, whether audience separation is used and what procedures are followed before and after each performance.

Risk assessments, venue permissions, method statements, performer experience and safety procedures can all help a specialist broker present the enquiry clearly.

Festivals, Weddings And Outdoor Events

Fire acts may be performed at festivals, weddings, outdoor shows, private events, community events, corporate entertainment bookings and seasonal celebrations.

Outdoor performance can introduce considerations such as wind, uneven ground, temporary staging, public access, crowd control, weather conditions and event organiser requirements.

A specialist broker may ask whether performances are supervised by event staff, whether marshals are used, how close the public can get and whether written venue or organiser approval is obtained for fire performance.

Theatres, Clubs And Indoor Performances

Fire performers may also work in theatres, clubs, cabaret venues, circus spaces, immersive shows and other controlled indoor performance environments.

Indoor or restricted-space fire performance can require more detailed underwriting consideration because ceiling height, ventilation, flooring, curtains, staging, fire exits, alarms and venue fire procedures may all be relevant.

A broker may ask whether indoor venues have approved the act, whether the performance area is controlled, whether the act uses live flame or reduced flame effects, and whether venue-specific risk assessments are completed.

Fire Performer Public Liability Insurance For Venues And Events

Property Damage And Third-Party Injury Risks

Fire act risks can include accidental injury to audience members, venue staff, event organisers or members of the public, as well as accidental damage to venue property or third-party belongings.

Possible scenarios could involve a lit prop causing damage, fuel marking flooring, smoke affecting venue property, equipment being moved through a venue or someone entering the performance area unexpectedly.

A specialist broker may ask about audience barriers, performance distances, fuel procedures, assistant support, incident records and how hazards are controlled during setup, performance and pack-down.

Professional Indemnity And Products Liability Considerations

Professional indemnity insurance may be relevant where a fire performer provides tuition, workshops, choreography, performer training, risk guidance, fire safety advice or show design services.

Products liability may also be relevant where props, poi, staffs, performance equipment, training materials or other items are supplied to clients, students or customers.

A specialist broker can discuss whether public liability, professional indemnity, products liability or other covers should be considered based on the full activities undertaken.

Employers' Liability And Support Crew

Employers' liability insurance may need to be considered where a fire performer employs assistants, crew, marshals, performers, administrators, technicians or support staff.

Some performers work alone, while others use helpers for setup, crowd control, fuel handling, music, lighting, safety monitoring or pack-down. That working arrangement can be important.

A broker may ask whether helpers are employees, casual workers, volunteers, subcontractors or other performers, and whether they work under the direction of the performer or event organiser.

Information A Specialist Broker May Require

A specialist broker may ask about the act type, fire props used, fuel type, venue types, indoor or outdoor performances, annual bookings, turnover, safety controls, training, experience, risk assessments and previous claims.

They may also ask about audience distance, barriers, extinguishers, fuel storage, venue permissions, staff or crew, products supplied, tuition or workshops, professional advice and whether public liability, professional indemnity or products liability are required.

Helpful documents may include risk assessments, method statements, photographs of the act, venue requirements, safety procedures, claims history, training records and details of any contracts or event organiser conditions.

Policy Terms, Conditions And Activity Descriptions

Fire performer liability policies can vary significantly. A performer should review the policy wording, activity description, exclusions, fire performance conditions, fuel conditions, products liability terms and professional indemnity terms carefully.

It is important that the activities disclosed to the broker accurately reflect the performances, venues, props, fuels, teaching activities, products supplied and any higher-risk work undertaken.

Cover availability and terms would be determined by the specialist broker and their insurers, based on the information provided and the underwriting criteria that apply.
