Abstract

This paper talks in great detail about the hazards in fireworks industry and makes an attempt to reduce hazards arising because of it. Fireworks makes festivals colorful but are more vulnerable to fire and explosion hazard. This is due to the highly reactive chemicals involved in fireworks manufacturing. The study deals with analysis of past incidents of fireworks industry. As more than 90% workforce has no formal education and lack of knowledge about the chemicals used in the manufacturing of fireworks and limited research makes the fireworks a high hazardous area. This study involves Job Safety Analysis (JSA) of most hazardous operation of aerial fireworks manufacturing. In this paper each step of manufacturing processes are analyzed and proper control measures have been recommended. Here Job safety Analysis helps to carry out the systematic evaluation of job and aids in identifying the previous undetected hazard so that elimination or reduction of the risk would be to as low as reasonable practical boosting safety and health awareness among the employees.
