While our matchsticks are generally safe when used properly, it is important to follow safety guidelines to prevent accidents and injuries.

Storage

• Keep Dry: Store matchsticks in a dry place to prevent accidental ignition.
• Away from Children: Store matchsticks out of reach of children to avoid accidental burns or ingestion.
• Cool Storage: Keep them away from heat sources and direct sunlight.

Handling and Use

Lighting a Match:

• Hold the matchstick firmly by the end opposite the match head.
• Strike the match head against the designated striking surface with a quick, firm motion.
• Keep your hand steady while the match ignites.

Lighting Fires or Candles:

• Ensure the matchstick is lit before bringing it near any flammable materials.
• Hold the lit matchstick at a slight downward angle to prevent the flame from burning up the stick too quickly.
• Light the material promptly and then blow out the matchstick if necessary.

Disposal:

• Make sure the matchstick is completely extinguished before disposal.
• Dispose of used matchsticks in a non-flammable container.

Fire Safety

• Supervision: Always supervise children when they use matchsticks.
• Ventilation: Use matchsticks in well-ventilated areas to avoid the build-up of smoke.

Emergency Measures:

• Have a fire extinguisher or a bucket of water nearby when lighting fires.
• In case of an accidental fire, use the extinguisher or water to put out the fire immediately.

Injury Prevention

Avoid Burns:

• Keep fingers away from the flame when lighting a matchstick.
• Do not hold the matchstick for too long once it is lit.

First Aid:

• For minor burns, cool the area under running water and cover with a sterile bandage.
• Seek medical attention for more serious burns.

Environmental Considerations

Litter Prevention:

• Do not discard matchsticks in nature as they can be a fire hazard and litter the environment.

By following these guidelines, you can use matchsticks safely and effectively while minimising the risk of accidents and injuries.
