We won’t contract a display unless we’re convinced that the firing site is suitable, and insist that a site survey is made in order to conduct a thorough risk assessment.

As a rule of thumb we look for at least 50m from audience to fireworks with an area 100m x 100m beyond the fireworks to act as a fall out area. Apart from these spatial requirements it’s the weather conditions on the day which have the greatest safety implications. 

All our firers are trained - to national level - to be able to interpret any hazards presented by circumstances on the day and the measures which need to be taken to minimise them.
