June ToolBox Talk: Firework Safety

6/26/2019

1 Comment

 
As the Fourth of July holiday season approaches, please take a moment to remember to be safe while celebrating with family and friends.

If you decide to purchase consumer fireworks, follow these safety steps:
  • ​Make sure consumer fireworks are legal in your area, before buying or using them. (View Fact Sheet)
  • Never use or make professional-grade fireworks.
  • Do not buy or use fireworks that are packaged in brown paper; this is often a sign that the fireworks were made for professional displays and are not for consumer use.
  • Never allow young children to play with or ignite fireworks, including sparklers. Sparklers burn at temperatures of about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. This is hot enough to melt some metals.
  • Never place any part of your body directly over a fireworks device when lighting the fuse. Move to a safe distance immediately after lighting fireworks.
  • Never point or throw fireworks at another person or occupied area.
  • Light fireworks one at a time, then move away from them quickly.
  • Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose handy, in case of fire or other mishap.
  • Never try to relight or handle malfunctioning fireworks. Soak them with water and throw them away.
  • After fireworks complete their burning, douse the spent device with plenty of water from a bucket or hose before discarding the device to prevent a trash fire.

For more information, visit the fireworks safety education center and check for fireworks recalls at CPSC.gov.

It's good to know that you should never try to relight malfunctioning fireworks. My family is looking into doing our own fireworks next Independence Day and have been looking at the logistics of doing so. I will keep these safety tips in mind if we decide to purchase fireworks.
