Safe Use of Pyrotechnics

The burden for the safe use of explosives is the sole responsibility of the buyer or user.

Products are intended to be used by qualified individuals who are trained in proper handling of pyrotechnic and special effects materials. We encourage users to be familiar with NFPA regulations or other locally applicable standards or laws regarding the use of pyrotechnics before a proximate audience.

Individuals using these products should refer to the Material Safety Data Sheets, Instruction for Use and product labels for information on the safe use of theatrical special effects. The safe use of pyrotechnics requires a complete knowledge of the product being used, matched with a proper risk assessment. If the product is new to the user it should be observed in a safe outdoor location so that the effect can be fully ascertained before being used indoors.

Operators are warned that pyrotechnic devices can sometimes vary in their performance and no guarantee is given that every device will perform exact the same. This must be borne in mind when siting devices.
