Perhaps.. but the regulations do not cite an explanation.  
Another unexplained "thing" that they imposed on businesses was  
"solid doors" for change-rooms.  It was incumbent on the  
business owner to find out WHY that was necessary.  It turns  
out that the answer actually varied depending on who you talked  
to, but the ultimate "goal" wrt solid doors was:

 "so that the surfaces can be wiped down."

A fellow retailer who runs a clothing shop was furious. Their  
shop featured change rooms with simple decorative curtains  
consistent to the theme of the shop. To impose installing solid  
doors would ruin the look-n-feel that they wanted. Instead of  
solid doors (plus hardware and ruining their walls) they  
discovered that stiff shower curtains would suffice and satisfy  
the "goal" that the gov't wanted.

I'd like to see the full names of the people who write those  
often ridiculous regulations and have them accountable for  
stupidity in many cases.

It's been a number of years since I've patronized a loud venue,  
but that is a very good point.

The purpose of people to visit places like that is eventually  
spread/exchange other agents between themselves after they  
leave the venue (and in somecases at the venue!). So.. what's  
the difference?

Another fine observation!
