| To comply with the Fireworks Legislation we must ensure that the display is justified, appropriate for the for the time and the venue and Health and Safety aspects are taken into consideration. At no time will we consider firing a professional display at an inappropriate venue. For example, a back garden in the middle of a housing estate would NOT be appropriate as the size of the fireworks we use would cause a significant risk to everyone.
It is illegal to let off fireworks after 11pm at night, except on November 5th (midnight), December 31st (1am), Chinese New Year (1am, date varies) and Diwali (1am, date varies).
Fireworks must now comply with a 120dB maximum noise limit. Certain types of other fireworks are now banned. These include airbombs and "nuisance" fireworks such as screech rockets. It is illegal for a member of the public to possess or use professional (category 4) fireworks. These are restricted items for sale to, and use by, professional display companies. RISK ASSESSMENTS are compiled for every display we fire. This is normally a requirement for the venue but it is a useful tool for us to as it ensures that we are considering Health and Safety of both the Fireworks Crew and the public.
