The BPA have set up a Firer training scheme, which currently has over 1000 registered persons.  The scheme, which will be developed and adapted to accommodate changing legislation and practices, is based on a sound knowledge of the hazards associated with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Firework types<\/li>\n<li>Firework effects<\/li>\n<li>Fireworks in transport<\/li>\n<li>Rigging techniques<\/li>\n<li>Site design<\/li>\n<li>Firing methods<\/li>\n<li>Fallout considerations<\/li>\n<li>Disposal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is not a replacement for other statutory provisions (e.g. relating to training of drivers) but provides a sound basis for safe operation.  In addition to the courses, each candidate is required to maintain a &#8216;log book&#8217; of their display experience.  This log book will prove invaluable in verifying that operators have the necessary practical experience, in a variety of display environments, to complement their formal training.  The course is presently available at two levels:<br \/>\nLevel 1 &#8211; for assistant operators at display sites with limited experience<br \/>\nLevel 2 &#8211; for senior operators at display sites who have passed Level 1 and have extended their experience<\/p>\n<p>The course is NOT suitable or available to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Firers of solely Category 3 fireworks<\/li>\n<li>Freelance firers who are not associated with a professional company<\/li>\n<li>Stage or theatrical technicians.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you would like to attend the course or if you would like further information please email: <a href=\"mailto:info@bpa-fmg.org.uk\">info@bpa-fmg.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Venue: Himley Cricket Club Stourbridge Road Himley Staffordshire DY3 4LB Course Dates: Level 1 BPA Firers Scheme 19\/20th March 2011 Fee: Non members: \u00a3150 plus VAT Members: \u00a385 plus VAT The BPA is committed to improving safety at professionally fired firework displays, both to operators of displays and to the public.
