Bonfire Night is a night of family fun, but it is also the time when there are many accidents due to lack of safety and responsible use of fireworks.

  • When handling sparklers wear gloves, leather one’s are best
  • Don’t allow children to light sparklers
  • When lighting sparklers, hold it at arms distance
  • Keep sparklers away from faces and use in clear spaces
  • When your sparkler is finished, place it in water or sand 

Fireworks

  • Light one firework at a time and keep the others in a box
  • Light fireworks at arm’s length with a taper and stand well back
  • Keep cigarettes and naked flames away
  • Once the firework has been lit, don’t go back to it
  • Aim rockets away from spectators
