Safety Tip of the Week
Holiday safety tips
Candles Do not leave burning candles unattended or place them near flammable materials. Make sure they are in a secure place where children and pets won’t knock them over. Put candles in a non-tip
candleholder before lighting them. Make sure all candles are extinguished before leaving the home or office, and before going to bed. The most common area of origin for candle fires is the bedroom, followed by living rooms,
bathrooms, and the kitchen. Lights Make sure all indoor and outdoor holiday lights bear the mark of an independent testing laboratory. Throw away any set with cracked lights, frayed cords, or loose or damaged sockets. Do not overload electrical outlets or run extension cords under carpets, across doorways, or near heaters. Be sure extension cords are not pinched behind or under furniture,
and unplug all decorative lights before leaving the home or going to bed. Never run extension cords across lawns, driveways or traffic areas. Power for all outdoor lighting should be supplied by permanent weatherproof wiring installed by a professional electrician. Kitchen During the holidays much time is spent cooking, so it’s critical to take precautions in the kitchen. Be sure to keep
pot handles and electrical appliance cords out of the reach of children. Put a lid on a pot or pan to extinguish a food or grease fire, and for an oven fire, turn off the heat and close the oven door. Fireplaces Before using a fireplace, have the chimney inspected by a professional for proper installation, cracks, blockages, leaks, or creosote buildup. Creosote is a chemical substance that forms when
