Fireworks are fun for many people. Especially fun to watch. Some people believe that they should make fireworks themselves and others enjoy lighting fireworks. The annoying thing for many people is that at certain times they do not remember that fireworks can have very unpleasant financial and physical consequences. A lot can go wrong when making and lighting fireworks. Physical injuries occur every year. It is therefore no wonder that the government is paying increasing attention to the safety of people and animals in its information. Since the Internet is a source of information, the Task Force on Detecting Firework Bomb Makers also focuses on having the owners remove YouTube videos about fireworks.
Environmental permit
There is good news for fireworks sellers. Municipalities no longer have to issue an environmental permit for the storage of consumer fireworks. This applies to the storage and sale of consumer fireworks up to 10,000 kilograms. This change does of course not affect the safety requirements for buyers and sellers of fireworks that are determined by law and municipality. Fireworks sellers are now also allowed to sell a quantity of 25 kilograms of fireworks to customers at one time.
General measures
By changing the environmental permit, the government can better and more easily deal with dangerous and illegal trade and illegal practices with fireworks. The government has set up a Task Force for the Investigation of Fireworks Bomb Makers. This Task Force for the Investigation of Firework Bomb Makers keeps track of which dangerous explosions of fireworks bombs there have been on the site: www.taskforceovb.nl/cautionsmap.
Bag Force Tracking Vuurwerk Bombenmakers
This Fireworks Bomb Makers Investigation Task Force also calls on the site: www.taskforceovb.nl/cautionscard to report dangerous situations. This mainly concerns situations in which people want to, go or make firework bombs themselves. In this way, the Fireworks Bomb Makers Investigation Task Force hopes to prevent explosions with fireworks bombs. The Fireworks Bomb Makers Investigation Task Force is a collaboration between the police and VeiligheidNL. The Fireworks Bomb Detection Task Force was established in 2011. In its short existence on the Internet, the Fireworks Bomb Makers Investigation Task Force has already tracked down hundreds of videos with dangerous content. The people who posted the videos were ordered by the Fireworks Bomb Makers Investigation Task Force to remove the videos from the internet. Many people who were approached by the Fireworks Bomb Makers Investigation Task Force to remove a video actually removed the video from the internet.
Online warning card
The Fireworks Bomb Makers Investigation Task Force places the detected videos online on a bomb warning card. In this way, the Firework Bomb Makers Investigation Task Force hopes to be able to persuade the firework bomb makers to remove the video they posted about making firework bombs from You Tube. This means of pressure is intended to ensure that the firework bomb makers cannot make other people think of making firework bombs themselves. It is also not excluded that the Fireworks Bomb Makers Investigation Task Force will legally prosecute those who post videos on You Tube about how fireworks bombs can be made.
Consumer
To protect consumers even better, tough action is being taken against consumers who have a lot of fireworks in their car or home and are suspected of illegal sales. A large amount of stored fireworks in a home or shed can have serious consequences for the environment if they explode.
Traders
Retailers selling fireworks must continue to comply with the prescribed regulations. Supervision of the storage of more than 10,000 kilograms of fireworks remains with the province and in these situations the retailer must have an environmental permit. Retailers who have stored less than 10,000 kilograms of fireworks must report this quantity to the municipality. Retailers must meet the applicable requirements for the environment, safety and distance.
Professionals
Professionals have a notification limit for setting off fireworks of 200 kilos and for setting off theater fireworks the limit is 20 kilos and the maximum amount of fireworks that may be ready in the sales area is 500 kilos.
