Christmas Décor Safety

Trimming the Christmas tree, hanging lights along the rafters, pulling down the kids crafts from over the years; decorating for Christmas is a tradition we love.

While you’re singing along to your favorite carols and hanging garland, keep these few tips in mind to ensure a healthy and safe Christmas season.

Christmas Tree Safety:

-        Make sure your tree is away from heat sources like fireplaces, candles or heat vents

-        Keep the tree stand full of water

-        Decorate with only non-flammable materials

-        Use only one extension cord per outlet

-        Use only three strands of lights per extension cord

-        Check lights for any broken or non-functioning sockets

Decorating Safety Tips:

-        Always have help when decorating outside especially when using a ladder

-        Do not hammer tacks or nails into electrical cords when handing lights. Use clips

-        Only use outdoor approved extension cords when decorating outside

-        Put cords in low traffic areas to prevent tripping

-        Ensure that blow up decorations are secured properly and deflated when you are not home or asleep

-        Don’t throw wrapping paper in the fireplace

-        Keep candles away from curtains and high enough children cannot reach
