- • NEVER SMOKE when handling Fireworks.
- • Open your display on the morning of the event (or
sooner). Separate Fireworks carefully from packing material.
- • Remember Fireworks are fragile. Please read all
the instructions carefully.
- • Always keep Fireworks covered, out of doors a waterproof
sheet may be necessary but a sparkproof sheet should certainly
be used.
- • Never carry Fireworks in pockets.
- • Choose a suitable site for the display during daylight.
A secure rope should be placed along the front of the site
to ensure that any spectator is kept at least 25 meters from
the nearest Firework. The back of the site should be clear
and open and no spectators should be allowed to stand there.
- • Choose a site where the prevailing wind blows from
front to rear so that the smoke and sparks are blown away
from the spectators. Always make sure the site is free of
combustible material - and well away from cars. If the display
is large make sure that you have adequate means of access
to the site. Provide stewards to look after emergencies. Have
some fire equipment available, i.e. Fire Extinguishers and
buckets of sand.
- • Check that all the fuses of the fireworks are visible
and easily ignitable.
- • All Batteries, Air bombs, Roman Candles, Mines
and Fountains should be buried into the ground before they
are lit so they can not fall over - be careful some fireworks
have fuses near the base, do not cover the fuse. Alternatively,
they can be secured to a stake which must be driven into the
ground to aid stability. STAKES ARE NOT PROVIDED.
- • When setting up your display, try and do so in a
grid fashion, and this will help you to avoid tripping over
the fireworks in the dark.
- • Rockets should always be set out to the rear of
the display area to maximize their distance from the spectators
and therefore the fall out area. If a firework should fail
to go off, leave well alone until the end of the display then
soak overnight in a bucket of water.
- • Notify your local fire and police departments of
the date and time of your display.
- • When firing a display always wear protective overalls,
goggles, hat, gloves and have a torch on your person at all
times to aid visibility.
- • Prior to disposal of packing material, please check
to ensure that no loose Fireworks are left in the box.
- • NEVER SMOKE
