Holiday decorating is fun. Let's make it safe, too.
Break out the decorations – the holiday season is officially here. This is going to be a fun Christmas for us, because it will be my new granddaughter’s first. Of course, Papa is going to spoil her, no matter what my daughter has to say about it.
Holiday lights should only be hung during good weather conditions. Ladder accidents around the holidays become more common, and all it takes is one misstep to have an accident that may cause lasting repercussions.A few guidelines for ladder safety that I always follow are the rule of three and the rule of four-to-one. The rule of three refers to our points of contact with the ladder. You should always have either two feet and one hand on the ladder, or two hands and one foot.
If after a few years the cords have started to fray, don’t just place some electrical tape on the weak spots, that means it’s time for them to be replaced, others they become a fire hazard. When you’re putting out your holiday decorations, be smart and fire-safe about it.
