Simple habits that prevent most accidents.
Follow these five steps for every cracker.
Choose a flat, open ground, free of anything that can burn.
Keep water close by. Make sure children and pets are away.
Use a long incense stick. Light the tip of the fuse, never the body.
Move away at once and watch from a safe distance.
Wait at least 15 minutes, then soak used and unburst crackers in water.
Every cracker behaves differently, so handle it the right way.
Hold at arm's length and point it away from your body. Keep young children away. Drop used sparklers into a bucket of water, as the wire stays hot.
Place on a flat, hard surface where it cannot tip over. Light the fuse and move back at once. Never bend over it.
Launch from a bottle or a stand, pointing straight up and away from people, houses and trees. Never launch from your hand.
Place on the ground and light from the end of the fuse. Never throw a lit cracker, and don't put it inside a tin or pot.
Use only on flat, open ground. Never fix it on a wall, a tree or a door. Stay back as it spins and moves.
Keep them in a cool, dry place away from lamps, stoves and sunlight. Keep them in the original box, out of children's reach.
Stay calm and act quickly.
Go to a hospital straight away for burns on the face, eyes, hands or a large area, and for any serious injury. If a cracker bursts near the eye, don't rub it. Cover it lightly and get medical help.
