Abstract
Fireworks industries are mostly prone to fire and explosion. The hazardous natures of chemicals are being used to produce the scintillating effects during the lighting of the fireworks crackers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the causes for fire & explosions in fireworks factories. Two hundred and sixteen fatal and sixty three are severely injured from 1994 to 2008. Data on age, sex, and incidence by month, causes of explosions were recorded. The majority of the fatal were male, with a mean age of 36.7 years. The result of the analysis shows that most accidents were caused by too much gunpowder put in at one time and accidents resulting from carelessness while making fireworks. Unsafe acts and unsafe conditions are the main reasons for these accidents. In this paper, the causes of accidents and prevention measures are also discussed.
