This guide outlines what we believe are the hazards and risks that should be considered when using Enola Gaye pyrotechnics and some mitigating measures; however, the list is not exhaustive and other Hazards and Risks may exist in your particular circumstances.

If you require additional information, then the document in this link is another very good generic guide http://www.eig.org.uk/eig2007/wp-content/uploads/Guide-on-Risk-Assessment-.pdf.

Age

Only people of 18 years or over may use or be supplied Enola Gaye (EG) pyrotechnics. Systems should be in place to ensure people under 18 are not given or use EG smoke products.

Personal Protective Equipment

For all EG pyrotechnic products including smokes we recommend that as a minimum Gloves and Eye protection are worn whilst handling and using them.

Mitigating actions; always use the packaging that the products were sent in. If bought retail and there is no packaging, ensure that the pyrotechnics are packed securely in a cardboard box. Ensure that the products are not transported with other products that may cause an ignition e.g. matches, lighters.

Pyrotechnic Misfires

On rare occasions once the ignited a pyrotechnic may extinguish and not fully function. If this occurs, then do not approach the pyrotechnic and leave for as long as practically possible (least 10 minutes) then carefully whilst wearing eye protection and protective gloves dispose of the product according to one of the disposal methods.

Pyrotechnic Disposal

There may be need to dispose of some “live” pyrotechnic products.

Disposal of live products should be by the method that best conforms to local and national regulation plus transport regulations where necessary.

Submerge in a bucket of water allowing the water to enter the device, leave submerged for at least 48 hours then dispose of remnants in accordance with local or national regulations.
Controlled burn – Place a maximum of 100 devices onto a pre made fire and ignite remotely from a distance of 25 metres. Ensure fire is place in a suitable location, not to ignite or damage surrounding vegetation, trees or buildings.
Re-pack the devices into the original supplied transport packaging and return to the supplier using a courier service registered to carry class 1 dangerous goods. This method should not be used for products that have misfired.

Use of Enola Gaye Pyrotechnics

Indoors or Outdoors – Unless specifically stated on the product or the product’s safety data sheet all Enola Gaye pyrotechnics are for Outdoor Use Only.

In public Places / Event venues – EG pyrotechnics and smokes may only be used in public places, stadiums, arenas or any other venue where the public may gather if permission has been granted by the appropriate authorities, owners, health and safety managers etc.

Holding – All Enola Gaye pyrotechnics that produce a bang must not be held in the hand or on the body once ignited, they must be deployed to at least the safety distance.

Enola Gaye smoke products are designed to be ignited and deployed; however, they are designed not to produce excessive heat and thus may be held using protective gloves, eye protection and non-flammable clothing must also be worn. You must also carry out your own evaluation as to the safety using the product in the manner you wish.

Altering Products

Under no circumstances should EG pyrotechnics be tampered with, this includes re-labeling. EG products have been tested and CE marked against a strict set of standards, altering the product in any way will invalidate your warranty and guarantee.
