In NSW, the purchase, use, storage and transport of display fireworks is restricted to individuals holding a pyrotechnicians licence. Licence applicants must:

• be over 18 years of age
• hold a current security clearance

If you become a member of our Howard & Sons Team we will assist and train you so you will gain the necessary qualifications, experience and knowledge.

As a company policy, we require all crew to hold a valid WorkCover NSW security clearance before starting with us.

A security clearance entitles the licence holder, to handle explosives and/or security sensitive dangerous substances without supervision subject to the licensee working under the direction and control of a person licensed to be in possession of explosives and/or security sensitive dangerous substances. An security clearance does not authorise the holder to purchase or possess explosives and/or dangerous goods in their own right.
