The precautions you should take when handling fireworks is always read the label on the firework. This would normally mean make sure you are kept well away from the firework, make sure that you haven't got display fireworks in a small garden - sometimes the distance on these could be 3 to 4 meters away. It is important to make sure that children never go anywhere near them. You don't light them using a naked flame such as a lighter or matches; always use the lighter that comes with the firework.
