Fireworks Safety Distance Calculator
A precise tool.
What is the Fireworks Safety Distance Calculator & How does it work?
Fireworks can be spectacular, but they also pose significant safety risks if not handled properly. The recommended minimum safe viewing distance depends on the class and size of the firework to ensure that spectators are protected from potential injuries.
The formula to calculate the minimum safe viewing distance is based on the power of the firework, which is typically measured in kilojoules (kJ). The general guideline is that for every 1 kJ of energy, the safe viewing distance should be increased by approximately 1 meter.

var = meaning
Energy (kJ) = Power of the firework in kilojoules
Safe Distance = Recommended minimum safe viewing distance in meters
Energy (kJ) = Power of the firework in kilojoules
