Volzhin explained that the safe use of pyrotechnics is only possible if the products are certified and all safety precautions are taken when launching them.
“Batteries of fireworks are sold in special stores.
All pyrotechnics of this type are produced in specialized factories, all batteries imported by importing companies are certified and meet certain requirements.
It is quite possible to use them if you follow all the necessary safety measures, ”said the specialist.
He explained that the most important condition for using pyrotechnics is maintaining the correct distance from the place where the fireworks are launched.
“Spectators should be removed at a distance of at least 20 m. The boxes should be installed on a flat, solid surface,” explained Volzhin.
When working with pyrotechnics, as the expert emphasizes, it is equally important to take into account the weather conditions and choose the right launch site.
“It is undesirable to put boxes in the snow, but you can trample the snow down to solid ground ... In case of strong gusts of wind, it is necessary to provide for the possibility of bursting the charge: when fired, gusts of wind can carry away part of it.
Therefore, it is recommended to maintain a large distance, including from residential buildings, gas stations.
It is not recommended to place boxes near roads, ”added the source of RT.
Earlier, as it became known to RT, the head of the public movement "For Safety" Dmitry Kurdesov suggested that half of the area of pyrotechnics packaging should be occupied with warning information and images of the consequences of improper use of goods.
