Staying safe with fireworks
OPSS has produced safety tips on how to use fireworks responsibly and considerately.
Only buy from licenced sellers
Make sure you buy fireworks from licenced in-store and online retailers. Do not buy fireworks from unknown retailers on social media sites. Remember it is illegal for under 18's to buy fireworks.
Let fireworks off on traditional celebration dates and adhere to the fireworks curfew
People are more likely to plan to protect pets and other animals if fireworks are let off on traditional dates. The firework curfew is midnight on Fireworks Night, 1am on Diwali, New Year's Eve and Chinese New Year, and 11pm the rest of the year. Firework timings may differ in Scotland. Search 'fireworks' on gov.scot for more advice.
