Your Monthly Guide to a Safer Workplace

This edition of Safety Spotlight focuses on an important safety topic: Caught In/Struck By Hazards. These hazards can occur not only at work, but also at home, making awareness and prevention important in every setting.

• Caught-in or caught-between incidents occur when a person’s body or limbs are squeezed, crushed, pinched, or compressed between two or more objects, or between a moving object and a stationary object. Common examples include trench cave-ins, machinery entrapment, and pinch or crush points.
• Struck-by incidents involve forcible contact with, or impact from, an object. These incidents are commonly grouped into four categories: flying objects, falling objects, swinging objects, and rolling or moving objects.

Caught In-On-Between

As the festivities continue and America celebrates its 250th anniversary, I would like to share important information about Firework Safety. Millions of families will gather to enjoy one of the nation’s most enduring traditions—fireworks. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) encourages consumers to celebrate responsibly and follow simple safety precautions to help prevent injuries.

Every year, fireworks cause thousands of preventable injuries. Even sparklers, which can burn at temperatures above 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, can cause serious burns if they are not handled carefully.

For 2025, CPSC received reports of at least 15 deaths and an estimated 13,000 emergency department-treated injuries linked to fireworks misuse and malfunction. An estimated 1,300 injuries involved sparklers alone. The 15-to-24 age group accounted for the largest share of injuries, and burns to the hands, fingers, and head were most common. Many of the most severe incidents involved devices that tipped over, malfunctioned, or were used too close to people.

As we mark this historic national milestone, use common sense and take a few simple steps to help prevent injuries.

Tips to Celebrate Safely

• In Maryland, personal firework use is highly restricted. Only gold-labeled sparklers, novelty items such as party poppers and snappers, and ground-based sparkling devices are legal statewide. All aerial, explosive, and projectile fireworks are illegal for personal use, and several counties enforce even stricter local bans. Just because fireworks are sold does not mean they are legal. Large pop-up tents may stock both legal novelty items and prohibited aerial fireworks at the same time.
• Keep children away from fireworks, including sparklers. Sparklers burn at about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit—hot enough to melt some metals—and can cause serious burns in seconds.
• Keep water nearby. Have a bucket of water or a garden hose ready in case of fire and to safely soak used fireworks before disposal.
• Never use fireworks while impaired by alcohol or drugs.
• Light one firework at a time, then move away quickly. Never lean over a firework while lighting the fuse.
• Never aim, throw, or point fireworks at people, animals, or buildings. Never hold, wear, or attach fireworks to your body or clothing. Use fireworks only as directed by the manufacturer.
• Don’t relight a “dud.” Wait at least 20 minutes, then soak it thoroughly in water before disposing of it.
• The safest way to celebrate is to leave fireworks to the professionals. Enjoy public fireworks displays in your community whenever possible.
