Diwali Safety Measures For Kids

The myriad colors and the jolly sounds of the firecrackers and fireworks attract children the most. They enjoy the bustling as well as sparkling effect. But their tender age prevent them from taking cautionary steps, which may result in one or the other accident. We provide you with some simple and very useful tips so that you only see a wide grin and naughtiness on your kid's face.

Safety Measures For Kids

1.To prevent any kind of a mis-happening, always escort your child when he or she wishes to play with fireworks.

2.Keep a bucket full of cold water and an ointment for burns handy or near to the place where you are bursting firecrackers.

3.Never let children point phulhjaris (sparkles) to each other's direction.

4.Do not scare your child of crackers, but time to time let him or her know about the precaution he or she should take.

5.Play with fireworks in an open, airy and clean place. Any unwanted item if would come into contact with the fire can be dangerous.

6.Never let your kid keep extra firecrackers in their pockets.

7.Never wear silk or other clothes, which are more sensitive to fire catching. Wearing cotton clothes is the best during Diwali.

8.Buy only legally authorized firecrackers.

9.Do not bend too much to ignite the firecracker. If it does not burst for some time, avoid going near to it. It may not be showing prior signs of bursting but many accidents have taken place due to the same reason.

10.Never ignite the anar or rocket (air firework) keeping them in a horizontal direction or taking them by hand.

11.Do not burst more than one cracker or sparkles at a time. Enjoy the firework display and then go for another one.

12.Avoid playing with the fireworks when a heavy wind is blowing.

13.Use firework display only at outdoors.

14.Avoid keeping fireworks at home. But if you have to make sure that they are at a safe distance from gas cylinders, vehicle as well as electricity sockets.

Make your and your kid's Diwali happy and safe by following these measures. A little precaution is much better that enduring the consequences of a folly.
