Every year, hundreds of Americans are injured during what is supposed to be a jubilant time that is quickly derailed by negligence and the improper storage of an American icon: fireworks.
We cannot stress enough the importance of properly storing such dangerous ordinances. Many unsuspecting Americans are permanently maimed because they don’t respect the truly explosive nature of pyrotechnics. Don’t let the bright illuminating colors of the festive atmosphere lull you into complacency. Fireworks are not toys. They are live ordinances that must be treated with the same amount of respect as dynamite and other explosives.
Fire-rated storage lockers can prevent errant sparks, ignitions
Like any other category of hazardous materials, U.S. Hazmat Storage has a steel line of chemical and explosive storage lockers that are celebrated almost as highly as your fourth of July bash. Our explosion proof chemical storage lockers can offer attendees of fireworks display ultimate protection. The affordable nature of line of explosive storage lockers won’t deflate the prevailing festive nature of your annual get-together either.
These units could be utilized by both the public and private sectors. Parks and recreation departments could invest in these lockers for the proper storage of fireworks in the lead-up to Independence Day celebrations and other monumental events. When they are not being used for fireworks, these lockers could also be used to store other hazardous materials that are needed in the upkeep of the park.
Explosion proof storage can quell fireworks’ threat
We couldn’t think of any business that might need explosives storage more than a fireworks retail store. Albeit rare, explosions and fires at fireworks stores can have noticeably disastrous consequences. In addition to an increase in insurance premiums, store owners could also be faced with lawsuits and civil penalties due to the improper storage of fireworks. Don’t believe us? Take a look at the video below. A fireworks store in South Carolina put on its own Fourth of July celebration without the permission of the shop’s owner.
