- CHILDREN SHOULD NOT HANDLE FIREWORKS.
Never let children under the age 18 years handle, play with, or light any fireworks. Adults should handle and light the fireworks. - USE COMMON SENSE AND KNOWLEDGE.
Follow your local and state laws regarding the possession and use of fireworks, and use good common sense when using fireworks. Read all directions, cautions, labels, and warnings on each individual firework item to understand the product performance and hazards associated with it. If your state has shooters’ sites, use them. Use only those fireworks permitted under the laws of the state and local jurisdiction in which you are using the fireworks. - USE IN A CLEAR, OPEN AREA.
Always keep the audience (and particularly children) a safe distance away from the shooting site. Always light your fireworks in a clear open area away from buildings, vehicles, and shrubbery. A minimum clear radius of 30 feet for fountains and other ground based items and 100 yards for any aerial product is recommended. You should avoid lighting the fireworks in any area where there is dry grass or brush that could catch fire or near any flammable items. Never use fireworks indoors. Never shoot fireworks in metal or glass containers. - KEEP CLEAR OF THE FIREWORKS.
Never put your head or any part of your body over the top of any fireworks product. Never look into a tube to check on the firework item. Never hold a lighted firework item in your hand. Keep as far from the firework item as possible when lighting. - USE CARE IN LIGHTING THE FIREWORKS.
Always light fireworks products with punk, a flare or an extended butane lighting device. This will enable you to keep as far from the firework item as possible. If needed, use a flashlight at night so the fuse can be easily seen; never use a lantern or other flame producing device near fireworks for illumination. Light the fireworks product and get away quickly, because if used improperly, they can be dangerous. - ONE AT A TIME.
Light only one firework item at a time, or have other people lighting other fireworks with you, or get extra safety fuse to connect fireworks together. - HAVE WATER CLOSE BY.
Have an accessible fire extinguisher, water supply, hose, or bucket of water nearby for emergencies if case of fireworks getting out of control or if something goes wrong. - SAFETY GLASSES.
Safety glasses are recommended for those individuals lighting the fireworks and those individuals in close proximity to the fireworks to protect your eyes. - STORAGE OF FIREWORKS.
Always store fireworks in a cool, dry place and dispose of fireworks properly. - DO NOT TRANSPORT FIREWORKS ON AIRPLANES.
It is a violation of federal aviation law to transport any fireworks device on an airplane. Please respect this law and do not attempt to carry any fireworks onto an airplane or transport them in your luggage.
