Safety - fireworks - advice
Summary of Service
Fireworks are a traditional part of celebrations such as bonfire night or New Year but they are the cause of many hundreds of serious accidents every year. They are dangerous explosives and the safest way to enjoy them is to go to a professionally organised event.
Details of Service
The Government's fireworks safety campaign published by the DTI provides downloadable guidance leaflets and materials for organisers of firework displays for the public, retailers, schools and the media, including the firework safety code. For further information, visit the fireworks section of the DTI website.
Professionally organised displays are regulated by the Health and Safety Executive, who publish two booklets, 'Giving Your Own Firework Display' and 'Working Together', aimed at organisers of professional firework displays.
Retailers selling fireworks must be registered with Wiltshire County Council trading standards, who investigate any problems with unsafe products.
