Frolics with Fireworks
This is the time of year that families and friends gather to enjoy an impressive fireworks display. But of course we know all too well the hazards of these dangerous explosives, and how easily they can be forgotten. With bottle rockets that can reach speeds of 200 mph and sparklers, in the hands of children, burning at 1,800 degrees, vigilance is key and awareness of routine health and safety issues is paramount.
