Holiday Safety

  

With the Holiday season underway, Carson Health would like to take a moment and remind everyone of the too easily forgotten safety tips during this time of the year.

 

1. If you are purchasing an artificial tree, be sure it is fire resistant.

 

2.  If you are purchasing a real tree, be sure to water it daily and cut about 2 inches of the trunk to expose fresh wood for better absorption.

 

3.  Don't place your tree in a doorway. You may not use the door everyday, but in an emergency, it may be your only option.

 

4. Lights should be tested for safety and labeled when you purchase them.

 

5. If you have light strands with cracked sockets, frayed bare wires, or loose connections, discard them immediately.

 

6. Never use electric lights on a metallic tree.

 

7.  If you are traveling out-of-state be sure to check road conditions for your entire route before you leave.

 

8. While you are out and about holiday shopping, be aware of your surroundings.

 

9. Using a debit card is safer than carrying a large amount of cash when you are shopping.

 

10. If you are solicited from an unfamiliar organization or charity, ask for literature. Any reputable organization will provide you with information.
