Many people feel that fireworks are only around in the later parts of the year around November time and of course around Christmas and New Year but this are not true and there are things that you need to make sure you are doing or not doing around the fireworks to ensure that everyone is safe.
The first point to make is that you should only be buying certified fireworks, the illegal ones are not only dangerous but you will be fined or worse if you are caught with them. There is a number that should be on all British fireworks and it is BS 7114, if this isn’t there then they are illegal. Make sure that you are reading the instructions for each and every firework. Do not make the mistake of reading the firework by naked flame as this may cause it to explode in your face.
The best thing to have is a bucket of earth to put the rockets in as this is a safe way to let them off. If you are the one that is lighting the fireworks then I would always suggest that you wear eye protection.
It is important to note that it is illegal to set fireworks off between 11pm and 7am unless there are certain celebrations going on at the time, obviously you cannot set them off on public too. Imprisonment can actually occur in the worse case if you do this. Bonfire night is one of those exceptions with midnight and New Year is 1am.
You are also not allowed to keep fireworks on you in your pocket or throw them. You should never throw used fireworks on a bonfire because it could still cause them to explode on you.
Make sure that you know the rules, regulations and safety advice before you go out and buy firework wheels and of course firework selection boxes and fireworks
