Safety First, Celebration Next
Your safety is our priority. Please follow these guidelines for a worry-free Diwali.
What You Should Do
Always burst crackers in open, clear spaces.
Keep a bucket of water and sand nearby for emergencies.
Use a long agarbatti (incense stick) to ignite crackers.
Wear thick cotton clothes; avoid synthetic or loose fabrics.
Keep children under adult supervision at all times.
Store un-burnt crackers in a closed wooden or tin box.
What To Avoid
Never ignite crackers while holding them in your hand.
Don't try to re-light "dud" crackers that didn't go off.
Avoid bursting crackers near electric poles or wires.
Never burst crackers inside the house or on balconies.
Don't carry crackers in your pockets.
Never use matches or lighters; they are too close to the fuse.
In Case of Accidental Burns
Cool It
Pour cold water on the burn immediately until the pain subsides.
No Creams
Don't apply ink, oil, or butter. It can cause infections.
Medical Help
If the burn is serious, contact a doctor immediately.
