 Hello, this is Demetrius Rump, the Director of Safety and Risk Management for the City of Columbia. This is your monthly safety message for the City of Columbia employees and the public. Today I'm going to talk about July the 4th, Safety and Fireworks. Summer is synonymous with barbecues, grays, and firework displays, but along with that, sometimes employees and the public make multiple visits to the emergency room for firework-related injuries. In 2017, eight people died and about 12,900 people were treated at the emergency room for firework-related emergencies. Never allow yourself to discharge fireworks after you've been under any kind of influence of any alcohol. Never let small children count the fireworks. Also, make sure that you never light fireworks indoors. And if all is possible, make sure you keep a bucket of water nearby so you can extinguish a firework or if it malfunctions. And never try to pick up a firework to have malfunctions because you don't know if it's live or not. But better yet, why don't you just grab a blanket or patch a grass and go to a firework display and leave it up to the experts. The City of Columbia would like for you to enjoy your new out-of-float with a big bang. But remember, safety starts with an S, but it begins with you. Thank you.
