The fireworks that highlighted Wednesday's opening ceremony have become the subject of a WorkCover investigation because spectators were burned by falling debris.

Embers from a fireworks display towards the end of the ceremony landed on hundreds of people in ground-level seats at the MCG.

WorkCover spokesman Michael Birt confirmed the watchdog had contacted ceremony organisers.

"We will be looking at the way the pyrotechnicians set up. We will be looking at the physical plans to see if anything needs cleaning up for future displays," he said.

The pyrotechnic elements of the ceremony were carried out by Howard and Sons Pyrotechnics.
