“Supervised installations should be designed so that hazardous emissions are not accessible at any point less than 3 m above and 2.5 m laterally from any location at which a member of the audience or public may gain access during a display (see Figures 4 and 5). For unsupervised installations, it is good practice to increase the vertical separation distance to 6 m.”
