Canada Safety Council believes that the safest way to enjoy fireworks is to attend an exhibition fireworks show handled by profes- sionals. There might be an event hosted by your community, overseen by a trained, certi- fied professional. If you choose to hold a family fireworks show with "common fireworks" sold to con- sumers, remember that injuries almost always result from improper handling and a disre- gard to safety. Canada Safety Council would like to share some fireworks safety tips from purchasing and setting up, to the fireworks show and proper disposal. Regulation alone cannot pro- tect the public. It must be combined with per- sonal responsibility and awareness. Purchasing • Follow the laws and regulations regard- ing the use of fireworks. • Purchase your fireworks from a reliable source that sells products meeting safety stan- dards. • Stay away from illegal explosives or fire- crackers and do not improvise and make your own fireworks. Setting Up • Read the instructions. This is worth re- peating: read the instructions, cautions and warnings on each firework item. • Store unused fireworks in a closed box away from the firework being lit and do not smoke around the fireworks. • Set up outdoors in a clear, open space. Light fireworks on a hard, flat and level sur- face to insure stability. • Check the wind and have the wind blow- ing away from the spectators. • Spectators should be at least the safety distance written on the fireworks label away from the display, keeping special supervision on children. • Have a bucket of sand, supply of water and a working fire extinguisher on hand. Fireworks Show • Only adults (18 years or over) should han- dle the fireworks. If you are impaired (alcohol or drugs) do not handle the fireworks. • Light only one firework item at a time. • Wear protective eye glasses and gloves. Light at arm's length and then stand back. • Never lean over the fireworks and keep hair and clothes away from fire sources. • Never attempt to re-light a "dud" or de- fective firework. • Never hold a lighted firework item in your hand. Proper Disposal • Sparklers should be immersed in a buck- et of sand to cool down after burning out, as they remain very hot for some time. • Fireworks should be disposed of safely and properly.
