Typical hazards & measures
Lack of emergency procedures
— Develop a detailed emergency action plan, including evacuation routes, fire safety procedures, and first aid protocols. Assign roles to staff, rehearse the plan, and share it with all team members before the event.
Distraction of emergency services
— Notify local emergency services of the event details and provide them with an event map, including firework firing times and locations. Station first aiders onsite to handle minor incidents.
Wind carrying fireworks or embers
— Conduct a wind assessment before the event. If winds exceed safe speeds (e.g., 15 mph), delay or cancel the display. Adjust firing angles to minimize risk and ensure a safe fallout zone.
Burns from sparklers
— Designate a supervised area for sparklers and limit distribution to children under adult supervision. Provide buckets of water for disposal and offer protective gloves for handling sparklers.
Inadequate signage for safety zones
— Use large, weatherproof signs with clear instructions to mark safety zones, evacuation routes, and restricted areas. Ensure signage is illuminated for nighttime visibility.
