Safety with sparklers
 Store sparklers and other fireworks in a
closed box in a cool, dry place.
Always light sparklers one at a time and
wear gloves.
Never hold a baby or child if you have a
sparkler in your hand.
Plunge finished sparklers hot end down into
a bucket of water
Children and sparklers
Never give sparklers to the under 5s.
Always supervise children using sparklers
Give children gloves to wear when holding
sparklers.
Avoid dressing children in loose or flowing
clothes – they may catch light
Show children how to hold sparklers – away
from their body at arm’s length.
Teach children not to wave sparklers near
anyone else or run while holding them.
In an emergency
Cool the burn with cold water for at least 10
minutes.
Cut around material sticking to skin – don’t
pull it off.
Don’t touch the burn or burst any blisters.
Cover the burn with clean, non-fluffy material – cling film is ideal – to prevent infection.
If clothing catches fire, get the person to
STOP, DROP to the floor and roll them in
heavy material like a curtain.
