E27 and Atmospheric Effects in NYC

[PositiveCharge]

Hi All,

I work at a venue in NYC and due to some personnel changes, we no longer have anyone on staff who has an E27 cert in order for us to use haze in the theater. Pretty much every designer wants to use haze at this point so it's a major stopping block at the moment. I've been told by the FDNY that the requirements for using atmospheric effects is changing and no longer requires an E27, and the new requirements should be available in March. Here we are in March. Anyone else have some insight about this? Can we hire someone with a current E27 cert to supervise a production here?

Thanks in advance!

It’s really up to the NYFD to be asking. I dont even recall a requirement for particular staff to have the E-27, we just listed the machines used and requisted the smoke and haze permit. They used to come out to site visit but it was very straight forward. Just needed to be renewed every year.
