What is the required minimum radius for ground display pieces with low hazard potential?

The required minimum radius for ground display pieces with low hazard potential is determined by the NFPA 1123 guidelines, which are designed to ensure the safety of the audience and personnel involved in fireworks displays. A radius of 75 feet is specified for low hazard ground display pieces, as it provides a sufficient buffer zone to minimize the risk of injury or damage from debris or unintended launch events associated with these types of fireworks.

This distance is established based on considerations of typical ground display piece behaviors, including the possibility of malfunction or unexpected firing, and taking into account the safety of spectators and surrounding structures. By adhering to this minimum radius, operators can effectively mitigate risk, ensuring that those in attendance are kept at a safe distance from the potential hazards posed by these displays.
