Several discussed horseplay as the biggest problem that must be eliminated. Student participation is the overarching of this project, and this task force aims to maximize their safety and participation. The task or overall concept is to determine how safe Bonfire can be. The aim is to make all hazards known and eliminate uncertainty and variability. This then covers weather, soil, and logs, and must be evaluated annually.
Behavioral safety involves training.
Log control must be in the contract. Prediction of the fall involved consideration of load identification and possibly a fixed camera. And again the group considered the building of a prototype to test. Drawbacks would be the exclusion of a crane and workers because of the size, cost, responsibility, effect on the time-line, training, and supervision of workers as scheduled for the real Bonfire, and motivation for a test Bonfire. This would communicate to the community, however, the sincere efforts to promote a safe Bonfire.
