DTI Fireworks Safety Campaign 2003

DTI runs an annual  fireworks safety campaign with the support of organisations such as Child Accident Prevention Trust (CAPT), Fight for Sight and The Blue Cross.

The 2003 campaign materials are available for download from this site, including updated Firework Safety Education packs circulated to schools across the country at the start of the Autumn term. 

DTI continues to promote more general firework safety messages through existing campaign materials aimed at all Fire Brigades, Environmental Health and Trading Standards officers, Health Promotion Units, and Police Forces in England, Scotland and Wales.
