“GREAT OPPORTUNITY WITHOUT LOSS OF LIVES”
Ceyhun Targın, President of the Safe and Healthy Living Association (GÜVSAD) that even children can buy fireworks and unconscious detonation carries great risks. Targın noted that there is a strong possibility that there will be no loss of life in accidents at the beginning of the year, saying: “At this point, there are no legal regulations, based on what you will audit, how will you control retail sales? Use, transport and storage of these materials It must be regulated by private law provisions other than the general law and citizens must be informed about the risks of use.“he said. Stressing that these types of explosives are not suitable for indoor and indoor use, Targın used the words” This is an invitation to fire and accidents. “
“YOU CAN BUY IN THE CHEAPEST MARKETS”
According to İrfan Sayar, president of the Occupational Health and Safety Employees Union, the biggest risk is easy access to fireworks. Noting that fireworks can be bought by the end consumer in convenience stores, bazaars and markets, Sayar said: “Fireworks can be bought at a very low price, what we call 2, 3, 5 or volcano type. It is usually bought saying that we have a wedding, is stored in a dry place and can be used for celebrations on special occasions. It contains flammable substances and these are very dangerous. As it is a chemical substance, it burns you or poisons you, ”he said.
IMM said ‘We won’t use anymore’
After the disaster at the fireworks factory in Sakarya, Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu said that “we will not use fireworks at any of our events.”
“NO NECESSARY INSPECTIONS ARE PERFORMED”
Emphasizing that the necessary inspections regarding the sale of fireworks were not carried out, Sayar said: “The places that produce fireworks are not inspected, but I never heard that the retail / wholesale places are also inspected. . In the chemical, construction and mining sectors, in the past there was an inspection mechanism, but this has decreased even more ”.
It makes me think that those items are sold as cheese and bread, I think our state will take the necessary measures. I would like to thank all the sane clubs and people for their support. When the patient is in bed, everything is secondary, the eye is one of our most sensitive organs. Everything is going for the best, hope must never cease. Omar’s children are not with him during the incident. The incident was intended to protect children. I think we have to wait 1-2 weeks.

“FIREWORKS MUST BE EXPLOITED UNDER THE SURVEILLANCE OF CERTIFIED PERSONS”
Noting that fireworks must be set off by a certified person, namely the lighter, Sayar said: “There are big, flashy companies, and this is set off under the supervision of the staff.” Speaking about the reasons for major accidents that occurred in fireworks factories from time to time, Sayar said: “The main reason for the explosion in Sakarya was the lack of supervision. Fireworks look like a toy, but they are not innocent at all. The explosion of all of them causes a disaster. Lack of precautions and careless behavior lead to accidents. “There is not a single criminal in such accidents, there is a chain of negligence.”
KILL BIRDS TOO
Speaking with Sözcü in July, veterinarian Ahmet Emre Kütükçü stated that the fireworks scared the birds and caused death by hitting each other. Kütükçü said: ‘Be it birds in wetlands, forests and parks, they panic at the effect of fireworks. They are forced to leave the safe areas they find and spend the night before dark. They are injured or killed by hitting trees, buildings, power lines, and each other. On the first day of 2011, nearly 5,000 red-winged blackbirds scattered across Arkansas, United States, were found dead. The investigation has revealed that the panic caused by the fireworks on New Year’s Eve lifted the birds and then they hit each other and lost their lives, ”he said.
