Holiday Safety Tips!!

• Look at each string of lights carefully. If any are cracked or damaged, buy new ones.

• When you buy new lights, look at the box for a label that shows they have been tested for safety, such as ETL, MET, CSA, or UL.

• Do not plug in too many things at one time. Use a surge protector.

• Unplug all holiday lights when you go to sleep or leave home.

• Plug outdoor decorations into outlets protected by Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) to prevent shock.

• Do not put electrical cords under rugs. Try to keep them away from places people walk.

• Automatic lighting timers can be used to ensure that lights are not left on by mistake. These are available for both indoor and outdoor use.
