Typical hazards & measures
Alcohol abuse by attendees
— Limit the sale of alcohol to licensed vendors and implement clear policies on serving limits (e.g., refusing service to intoxicated individuals). Employ security staff to monitor behavior and remove disruptive attendees when necessary.
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.
Overhead hazards (branches, wires)
— Survey the event area to identify and mitigate overhead risks, such as cutting back low-hanging branches or avoiding areas with power lines. Clearly mark areas to avoid if hazards cannot be removed.
Inadequate site layout
— Designate a large, open area with clearly defined zones: a firing area (at least 25m from spectators), a fallout zone (50m downwind), and an exclusion zone. Erect barriers and use clear signage to keep attendees at a safe distance.
Firework Fallout
— Establish and clearly mark a safe fallout zone downwind of the firing area and ensure it is free of spectators. Use weather forecasts to assess wind direction and adjust firing layouts accordingly. Encourage the use of biodegradable fireworks when possible and conduct a thorough post-event cleanup to remove debris.
