WE WISH YOU A SAFE CHRISTMAS
ENJOY YOUR FESTIVE SEASON WITH CARE AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR A FUN-FILLED NEW YEAR
Christmas is a universal happy time of the year.With the New Year around the corner,it is a time of joy,love and hope for a brighter future.With the exuberant holiday mood,so much to organise and prepare for,let's not forget to be safe to have a fun festive season.Consider these tips for Christmas safety as you are decorating the tree,doing up the lights and saying cheers this year.
CHRISTMAS TREE
When you prepare your real tree for Christmas bunting,ensure there are no loose needles.Give it a good shake before you start hanging up your decorations.Check the limbs of your real or artificial tree before you start hanging up the stuff.Ensure that it has just enough bend to not give way,leaving you in a puddle of glass or plastic.Place your Christmas tree in an area away from walk paths in the house.Ensure the children or pets understand that they cannot touch the tree.
LIGHTS
Ensure that you have proper earthing,safe plug-points and correct power phases before setting up your lights.If you are going to have several lights,it would be best to get an electrician to set them up for you.Christmas lights can be used both indoors and outdoors,but they aren't to be used interchangeably.There are lights specifically made to use indoors and these should never be used outside.Use the UL Christmas lights that don't get heated,to avoid possible fires.Always turn off the lights on a tree before going to bed at night.
CANDLES
Candles are a traditional and beautiful part of the season.But they are also dangerous if not handled with care.Always keep candles at a safe distance from other things,even walls.Ensure kids and pets are always supervised around candles.It is not advisable to use candles on or around your Christmas tree.Freeze your candles before inserting them into candleholders.This will eliminate extra wax drippings.Always make sure you are using non-flammable candle-stands.
DECORATIONS
Avoid any decorations that tend to break easily such as glass or have sharp edges.Keep tree trimmings or decorations that are very small and can be swallowed out of the reach of your infant.
FOOD AND DRINK
If you are going to be out partying and drinking,ensure you have someone to drive you home.This person should not have consumed alcohol at all.Ensure that you are not over-drinking or over-eating.A terrible hangover or an upset stomach takes the fun away from the next day.
