Bonfires and Fireworks Displays
Introduction
Well-managed firework displays can be an entertaining and enjoyable experience. On the rare occasion that something goes wrong, the organisers can then be remembered for the wrong reasons. So, it is never too early to start planning a display.
To assist, comprehensive free guidance is available from the CBI Explosives Industry Group and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to help ensure the safety of those working at the display and the public attending the display.
The Red Fireworks Guide: ‘Giving your own firework display: How to run and fire it safely, by the Explosives Industry Group, provides advice for those running an event after choosing not to use the services of a specialist display operator.
The Blue Fireworks Guide: ‘Working together on firework displays – A guide to safety for firework display organisers and operators‘ by the Explosives Industry Group, provides advice when planning and hosting larger fireworks displays where the services of display operators are used.
Where fireworks are to be fired by a competent display operator, the organisers will be subject to the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, whether acting on behalf of a commercial organisation, a local authority or voluntary associations using voluntary firers.
Other legislation may also apply, for example restrictions on the type of firework used and the time of the display.
The following provides a summary of the key risk management requirements. We strongly advise event organisers and display operators to make themselves familiar with the full range of available guidance.
