The Fireworks manufacturing processes involve use of hazardous chemicals and extreme care has to be taken by people who are involved in the process. A good safety culture in the factory can eliminate the unwanted events. A good safety culture can be inculcated by following the best practices adopted in industries throughout the world. The objective of this paper is to suggest good safety management practices for fireworks units in order to improve safety performance. Existing Safety practices and safety systems were reviewed with discussion with supervisors and foreman of fireworks units. Management system standards like OHSAS 18001, ISO 14001 and the guidelines of these standards were used and requirements were customized for the fireworks units. By Implementing the suggested management practices in the industries safety performance can be improved during fireworks manufacturing.
