Today, the capital's Emergency Department, together with the Police Department, during an online briefing reminded citizens about the observance of safety on the eve of the New Year holidays and the rules for the use of pyrotechnic products.
On the eve of the New Year holidays, pyrotechnic products are in great demand among the residents of the capital, with which the retail counters are filled in excess. People in euphoria and about the festive mood forget about elementary precautions when buying and using dangerous fireworks, firecrackers and other products.As you know, violation of fire safety rules during the use, storage and sale of these products can lead to serious consequences.Improper use of pyrotechnic products can cause fires and creates a threat of thermal injuries of varying severity.According to, departmental registration of victims in the territory of the city of Nur-Sultan as a result of fires due to violations of fire safety rules during the operation of pyrotechnic products has not been registered.
Dear residents and guests of the capital! For safety reasons, when purchasing pyrotechnic products, it is necessary to buy them exclusively in specialized stores and in stationary trade pavilions that have the appropriate licenses for this type of activity. When buying a PI, it is necessary to require a certificate of conformity for products from sellers. For each pyrotechnic product, there must be detailed instructions for their use in the state and Russian languages, when reading the instructions, pay attention to the shelf life (if the product is overdue, then it is in no case impossible to use it).
In order to safely conduct New Year's events using pyrotechnic products, we recommend following the following fire safety rules: it is not allowed to install fireworks closer than 50 meters from buildings and structures, under canopies and tree crowns, as well as the use of pyrotechnic products in windy weather. To prevent tragedies on holidays, fireworks and firecrackers should be purchased only in specialized stores, but in no case in markets where their storage conditions are not met. Due to non-compliance with temperature conditions, pyrotechnics can explode on your hands. Do not buy goods of questionable quality, require the necessary certificates and carefully read the instructions for their use.
If it is necessary to carry out special fire effects associated with the use of pyrotechnic products and sources of open fire that can lead to a fire, the head of the organization conducting the fireworks, it is necessary to develop and implement fire prevention measures, including:
1) the date, place, time of the beginning and end of the fireworks, the layout of pyrotechnic installations, the nature of the products used;
2) a scheme for linking points of storage and installation of fireworks, pyrotechnic products to the terrain, indicating the distances to buildings and structures, and a scheme for cordoning off the fireworks venue, indicating the boundaries of the danger zone;
3) an order on the appointment of a person responsible for compliance with fire safety measures during fireworks;
4) the layout of fire extinguishing equipment;
5) a plan of measures to prevent fires.
On the sites from which pyrotechnic products are launched, smoking and fire-making, leaving pyrotechnic devices unguarded are not allowed. The protection of the places where fireworks are set up must be carried out by the organization conducting the fireworks.The pads must be provided with primary fire extinguishing means (fire extinguishers, containers with water or sand).After the end of the fireworks, the launch pad is carefully inspected in order to identify and collect unprocessed products and elements of pyrotechnic charges.
Dear citizens, Remember! Your safety is primarily in your hands. To avoid the ignition of Christmas light decorations, use only certified products, the wires must be insulated and connected using special clips, and also avoid exposure to open fire on Christmas trees.
