As everyone gathers to enjoy time with friends and family for the 4th<\/sup> of July, it is important to remember that one of our favorite traditions can be dangerous. There are hundreds of injuries and fatalities each year due to fireworks.<\/p>\n

\u201cFireworks on the Fourth of July are an American tradition,\u201d said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. \u201cWe want to make sure the traveling public and commercial operators know how to safely transport fireworks so we can all enjoy these colorful displays, both small and large.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fireworks are regulated under the hazardous materials regulations.\u00a0They are a class 1.4G explosive. When transporting fireworks, you must follow the rules as outlined in the regulations including: shipping papers, loading\/blocking\/bracing, placarding, security plans and you must be a\u00a0trained person. Workplaces must also meet the requirements under the OSHA regulations, including personal protective equipment and the use of fire extinguishers.
\n<\/p>\n

There\u00a0is a variety of guidance documents available to keep you, your family and your employees safe. Keep \u00a0safety in mind so everyone has an enjoyable holiday.<\/p>\n
