Diwali is the festival of light and togetherness. It is the celebration of victory of good over evil and an exciting time for kids as well as elders. Light, new clothes, mithai and crackers, all of this make the festival super special and worth the wait. But all this is true only if you stay safe.
In the past few years, a lot of people have lost their eyesight and have got serious burns due to carelessness. Unattended children burning fireworks have been the major cause of accidents caused during Diwali. This is something you must avoid during the festivals.
But safety doesn’t just mean being careful around diyas and firecrackers. It includes many other factors like ensuring the comfort of your elders, pets, shielding children from burns, keeping the streets litter free and the environment less polluted.
Here is the list of top 10 safety tips that are absolutely essential for you and your family this Diwali.
Diwali is quite literally the festival of light where homes are lit with diyas and candles. But if not taken care of, diyas can lead to fires.
What you can do:
- Keep the candles and diyas away from curtains and other inflammable objects.
- Do not light diyas near electrical wires.
- Put the candles/diyas on a flat surface so they do not fall.
- Keep your pets and babies away from diyas.
- Do not keep the diyas on the doorways so that no one falls and hurt themselves.
Despite the government ban, firecrackers are still a big part of Diwali celebration. Especially when you have children and teens in the family.
What you can do:
- First and foremost, avoid bursting firecrackers, if possible at all.
- Do not burst crackers that emit a lot of noise and smoke.
- If you plan to buy, buy firecrackers from trusted brands and stores to make sure they are of good quality.
- Explain your children to burn crackers under elder supervision.
- Lit the crackers in an open space and burst only one cracker at a time.
- Keep a water bucket handy that can be used in case of an accident.
- Do not stand to close to where crackers are being burst.
Waste disposal
Make sure to dispose off the burnt crackers safely. Half burnt crackers can cause hazard. So, stack up the used sparklers, chakaris and phuljaris in a bucket of water before throwing them away.
