Authorise fireworks to store and burn

• In order to obtain a storage permit, you must submit an informal application to the Land Office for Environmental and Occupational Safety and attach all the documents required for a decision on your application. This must also include a detailed description of the project and the location.
• The documents submitted by you will be checked for completeness and conclusiveness and, if necessary, additional documents will be requested. After complete receipt of all required documents, the responsible clerk will inspect the storage location on site. For this purpose, he/she will usually make an appointment with you, in which you will again have the opportunity to explain the project.
• The clerk checks the structural requirements and the distances to neighbouring buildings and traffic routes on site.  
• If necessary, the clerk can then request further documents (e.g. an expert's opinion) in order to be able to issue a storage permit if all conditions are met.
• If all conditions are met, the permit can be granted. If the conditions are not met, a negative decision will be issued.

Please contact the Structure and Approval Directorate.
