Planning a fireworks display?
October 26th 2009 The HSE has released a new safety guide for firework display organisers and operators.
Designed for competent display operators and organisers (not for displays where the fireworks are to be fired by people without specialist knowledge or training) the updated edition covers the significant changes in the law relating to the supply, possession, transport, keeping and use of fireworks. These changes may have an effect on the way a display is organised. These include:
• The Manufacture and Storage of Explosives Regulations 2005;
• The Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations 2004;
• The firework Regulations 2004; and
• The Firework (Safety/Amendment) Regulations 2004
