Fireworks Safety Promoted by Leading Safety and Health Agencies Occupational Hazards
In 2002, eight out of nine emergency department fireworks injuries involved fireworks that federal regulations permit consumers to use. According to the coalition, even 'legal' fireworks can result in scars and disfigurement that can last a lifetime. Sparklers, for example, can burn up to more than 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Think Safety This Independence Day With Safety Glasses From MSA Safety Works PRNewswire
According to the United States Eye Injury Registry, approximately 12,000 people in this country are treated in emergency rooms for firework-related injuries, and 2,000 of those involve injuries to the eyes.
MSA Safety Works, the fastest growing brand of consumer safety products, encourages all individuals to refrain from igniting store-bought fireworks and attend only professional fireworks displays. If a person plans to ignite store-bought fireworks, they should wear OSHA approved safety glasses to protect their eyes. These ANSI-rated high-impact safety glasses are available at The Home Depot and other major home improvement stores.------------------------------------------- posted 6:46 AM :: reference link ::
