Holiday Safety Tips
Being proactive about safety will give you peace of mind and allow you to enjoy your time with loved ones. ▶ Smoke alarms should be installed in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home. For the best protection, smoke alarms should be interconnected so that they all sound if one sounds. Test the batteries in each smoke alarm every month, replace them once a year, and replace the unit every 10 years.

▶ GFCIs are electrical safety devices that trip electrical circuits when they detect ground faults or leakage currents, that could shock or electrocute someone. GFCIs should be installed where electricity and water may come in contact, such as the kitchen. GFCIs should also be tested every month. ▶ Prevent fires by making sure your oven and stovetop are clean and free of grease and dust. You should also clean the exhaust hood and duct over the stove regularly. Lastly, vacuum the refrigerator coils every three months to prevent potentially dangerous dirt build-up.
