As Independence Day approaches and summer festivals kick into full gear, OSHA is reminding employers in the fireworks/pyrotechnics industry to protect their workers from hazards they face while handling fireworks for public events. The agency offers a
Safety and Health Topics page that addresses retail sales of fireworks and fireworks display. The site features descriptions of common hazards and solutions found in both areas of the industry; downloadable safety posters for workplaces where fireworks are handled; and a video demonstrating best industry practices for retail sales and manufacturers based on NFPA consensus standards.
