Thank you to everyone who came to our 2009 training
day. We will be updating this page in due course with details of
our 2010 event.
Each year we hold a comprehensive half day fireworks
safety training course. This course is a must for organisers of
November and New Year events, and includes instruction and guidance
on all aspects of fireworks safety and your firework display by
our trained technicians.
2009 Training Course: Was on Sunday 13th September.
Date for 2010 TBC.
Location: Waldegraves Holiday Park in West Mersea, near
Colchester.

Areas covered by this course include:
- Planning your event
- The firework site including layout, safety distances and crowd
control
- Firing instructions including types of fireworks, set up, sequenced
firing and waterproofing
- Fireworks and the law - the current situation
- Safety including equipment, personal safety, crowd safety and
the Health & Safety at Work Act
- Fundraising including sell-ons, sparklers, luminous products
and gate admission
- Any questions and answers

In addition to class-based training, the course includes
a practical session using fire extinguishers. Everyone is welcome
to have a go at this to familiarise themselves with extinguishers
and how they work on different types of fire.

An example display layout is used to show you how
to set your fireworks up safely and how to fire them.
In all, this course covers virtually every aspect
of using the fireworks you purchase from us. Questions and answers
are very welcome, we will do all we can to help you with any other
queries you might have.
Course costs: TBC for 2010.
Please note attendance of this course does not
entitle you to obtain category 4 fireworks. All trainees must be
