Remember Remember, Health & Safety

Remember remember the 5th of November – we all know the story of Guy Fawkes and the night he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. Many of us will be heading off celebrating tonight to local Fireworks Events with our friends and families. First started when joyful Londoners lit bonfires in thanksgiving that the plot failed. This led to King James I to decree that we should celebrate every year. As the years have progressed these celebrations have changed and become more and more elaborate. Nowadays, improved health and safety guidelines and responsible planning allow these great shows to be enjoyed by all. The Health & Safety Executive provides clear guidelines for before an event, the day of the event and the morning after to prevent potentially lethal accidents. Effectively the idea being to keep human contact, unless by professionals, to a minimum. Keeping your distance ultimately reduces the risk of things going wrong.
