You have a big responsibility when lighting firework. Don't drink alcohol before the show.
03
When firework is damaged or not (completely) lit, disarm it with water and discard it as regular waste.
There are rules for buying fireworks in both the Netherlands and abroad. That means a maximum of 25KG of fireworks per person.
You may transport a maximum of 25 kg of consumer fireworks in one car. It doesn’t matter how many people are in the car.
You may not have more than 25 kg of fireworks per address in your house. More than 25 kg is unsafe for you and your neighbors.
Firework that goes up, comes down in small pieces. Always wear safety glasses when you're lighting firework or watching it. Even if you wear normal glasses. These don't cover your eyes completely, and are insufficiently protective. We advise not to wear nylon clothes, but for instance cotton or wool. Also, clothes with a big hoodie or loose pockets, and loose shoes are not advised.
Straighten the fuse of the product before lighting. Light the fuse of the product at the tip with a separate fuse or a lighter with a precision flame. This way, you'll have enough time to move away at a safe distance. Always light firework with a straight or lightly bended arm.
Cleaning your firework waste is a good start of the new year. This way, the streets will be free of firework that has been lost in the dark or has not been lit, and you'll prevent litter and annoyance. We do this for the safety of our children and a better environment.
