Promoting Well Being

Although legislation was introduced to regulate the sales and use of fireworks many people are still injured by fireworks each year. Statistics shows that the number of injuries occurring within the Southern Board area are rising. 

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents website gives advice on the legislation governing the sales and use fireworks in Northern Ireland as well as useful advice on how to hold a safe and successful display. Visit: www.saferfireworks.com
