Bonfire Night Safety Tips

Keep yourself and your family keep safe this Bonfire Night, with our top safety tips.

As the winter months approach we start to look forward to Halloween, Bonfire night and of course Christmas, it's key to remember that the seasons may change but the risks do not go away.

If you want to see a bonfire or fireworks, go to an organised, properly run display.  It's usually cheaper than buying your own, the fireworks will be bigger and brighter...and it’s certainly SAFER. 

Whatever you decide to do, please be careful. Treat Bonfires and fireworks with the respect and care they deserve, if you don’t the consequences can be fatal. 

Be safe, keep your loved ones safe and enjoy the evening. Make bonfire night the happy time it should be.

Firework Top Ten Safety Tips

Young people should watch and enjoy fireworks at a safe distance and follow the safety rules for using sparklers. Only adults should deal with firework displays and the lighting of fireworks. They should also take care of the safe disposal of fireworks once they have been used.

  1. Plan your firework display to make it safe and enjoyable.
  2. Keep fireworks in a closed box and use them one at a time.
  3. Read and follow the instructions on each firework using a torch if necessary.
  4. Light the firework at arm's length with a taper and stand well back.
  5. Keep naked flames, including cigarettes, away from fireworks.
  6. Never return to a firework once it has been lit.
  7. Don't put fireworks in pockets and never throw them.
  8. Direct any rocket fireworks well away from spectators.
  9. Never use paraffin or petrol on a bonfire.
  10. Make sure that the fire is out and surroundings are made safe before leaving.
