Safety & Holiday Party Decorations

Don't forget to incorporate safety into your Holiday Display.

By this time, most of us have or are in the process of decorating for the holidays. Even though we are creating an ambience for our guests, remember that part of being a gracious, hospitable host is to ensure your guests safety. So, take the tips into account at your own homes.

1. Cover all cord connections with electrical tape
2. Keep the walkways & driveways clear of ice or other impediments
3. Use salt, sand or your locally approved agent to reduce the risk of slipping
4. Keep cords away from the areas that people will walk on
5. If you will be highlighting your front doorway with a floodlight, adjust the angle of illumination so that your guests are not blinded as they exit the house
6. Provide an exterior as well as an interior floor mat, so that the risk of melting snow creating a slippery area, is minimized

Enjoy your holidays!
