Crackers Safety Tips & Guidelines
Festivals bring light, joy, and celebration. Follow these essential Sivakasi factory precautions to ensure a joyous, vibrant, and accident-free celebration with Deepan Crackers.
Do's — Safe Practices
- Read Packaging Instructions: Always inspect the safety instructions, warnings, and lighting guidelines printed on every cracker box.
- Buy Verified Sivakasi Crackers: Purchase genuine factory-tested crackers with authentic quality and standard fuse timings.
- Use Long Incense Sticks (Agarbatti): Light crackers from an arm's distance using sparklers or long agarbatti instead of direct lighters or matchsticks.
- Burst in Wide Open Spaces: Only ignite crackers in open outdoor areas far away from dry grass, parked vehicles, and overhead wires.
- Keep Water & Sand Buckets Nearby: Always position a bucket filled with clean water or sand close to the bursting spot for emergency containment.
- Wear Fitted Cotton Clothing: Wear thick cotton garments and sturdy footwear while lighting crackers to prevent sparks from catching clothes.
- Adult Supervision for Kids: Ensure children are continuously supervised by an adult when lighting sparklers, pencils, and flower pots.
Don'ts — Hazards to Avoid
- Never Re-light Misfired Crackers: Never bend over, examine, or attempt to re-ignite a cracker that failed to go off on the first attempt.
- Never Use Glass Bottles or Cans: Never place bombs or rockets inside bottles, tin cans, or metal drums; shrapnel can cause grave injury.
- Never Throw at People or Animals: Never point, fling, or aim crackers towards pedestrians, vehicles, animals, or residential balconies.
- Avoid Synthetic and Loose Garments: Do not wear nylon, polyester, or silk clothing that easily melt and catch fire from falling sparks.
- Do Not Carry in Pockets: Never store unlit crackers inside shirt or trouser pockets. Keep them in a covered safety box.
- No Indoor Bursting: Never burst any crackers inside closed rooms, corridors, verandas, or narrow apartment balconies.
- Proper Disposal: Dip all burnt sparklers and cracker remnants in a bucket of water before disposal to avoid lingering embers.
Emergency & First Aid Quick Reference
In Case of Minor Burns
Pour plenty of cold, clean running water over the burn for at least 10 to 15 minutes. Never apply ice, butter, grease, or ink.
Eye Injury Care
Do not rub the affected eye. Rinse gently with clean drinking water and immediately consult an eye specialist (ophthalmologist).
Severe Emergency
Cover the injury with a clean, sterile cloth and transport the individual immediately to the nearest hospital emergency unit.
Safe Storage & Transport Advice
Store your cracker cartons in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, electrical switchboards, kitchen gas stoves, and open flames. Keep all fireworks cartons elevated on dry wooden pellets or shelving, safely out of reach of infants and pets.
