Tis the season to be jolly, but it’s also a time when accidents can happen more frequently.
At TP Safety Services, we want to help you stay safe this holiday season by sharing some Festive Safety tips and tips to avoid common Christmas accidents.
Join us on this 26-day journey as we countdown to Christmas with a the risks you should be aware of this holiday season..
Day 1 – A is For …..
A is for Alarms!
This festive season, ensure your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are tested and fully functional. Press the test button regularly, and check the batteries or replace the unit if it’s over 10 years old. A working alarm is your first line of defence against the increased fire risk from candles and electrical decorations.
Day 2 – B is For …..
B is for Baubles!
While beautiful, many decorations pose a risk. Keep fragile or small glass baubles out of reach of young children and pets, as shattered glass can cause serious injury and small components can be choking hazards. Choose shatterproof decorations when placing items lower down on the tree.
Day 3 – C is For …..
C is for Candles!
Never leave lit candles unattended, and always extinguish them before leaving a room or going to bed. Keep them at least three feet away from flammable materials like curtains, wrapping paper, and your Christmas tree. Consider switching to battery-operated LED candles for a safer festive glow.
Day 4 – D is For …..
D is for Drinks!
If celebrating with alcohol, plan your transportation home safely well in advance. Never drink and drive, and be sure to look out for friends and colleagues who may need help getting home safely. Enjoy the celebrations responsibly and know your limits.
