<p>Existing laws are in place to control firework availability and use, to reduce
the risks to people and disturbance to animals. Included are age related restrictions,
a curfew, and a noise limit.</p><p> </p><p>The Office for Product Safety and Standards
(OPSS) is developing a fact-based evidence base on the key issues that have been raised
around fireworks. This includes looking at data on noise and disturbance, anti-social
behaviour, non-compliance, environmental impact, and the impact on humans and animals.
This will build a fuller picture of the data around fireworks in order to identify
whether further action is appropriate.</p>
