Always store crackers in a sturdy, closed container made of wood or tin away from flammable materials and sources of heat or electrical appliances.
Only buy authentic, green certified crackers manufactured legally in Sivakasi with clear safety labels and operating instructions.
Use long incense sticks (agarbatti) or sparklers to ignite the fuse. Never lean over the cracker while lighting and immediately move back to a safe distance.
Submerge all burnt sparkler wires, flower pot cones, and dud crackers in a bucket of water before disposal to avoid accidental re-ignition.
Always have a clean water bucket, sand buckets, burn ointment, and emergency medical kit readily accessible in the courtyard or celebration ground.
Wear protective glasses or eyewear, fitted cotton clothing, and sturdy footwear while handling aerial fireworks and sparklers.
Light only one firework at a time. Bursting multiple crackers together can cause unexpected explosions and confusion.
Wait at least 15 to 20 minutes before approaching a dud cracker, and soak it in water rather than attempting to relight it.
Friction against matchboxes or sparks can cause crackers in pockets to ignite instantly and cause severe burn injuries.
Exploding crackers inside tin boxes, glass bottles, or metallic vessels creates lethal flying shrapnel.
Directing rockets, sparklers, or flower pots towards people, animals, or houses is extremely hazardous.
Avoid flowy dupattas, sarees with loose pallus, or synthetic fabrics that can catch fire easily.
