The holidays are right around the corner. With the decorations and the gatherings and the excitement in the air, this is such a fun and delightful time of year. Of course, nothing can ruin a season more than a trip to the ER or the police station. Here are a few tips to keep you and your staff safe this holiday season.
Outdoors
- Install decorations at least 10 feet from power lines and a safe distance away from flammable items.
- Outdoor lights and decorations should be plugged into ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) to reduce the risk of electric shock.
- Ensure the landscaping crew secures lights, decorations, and electrical cords in a way that prevents wind damage but doesn’t damage wires or insulation.
Indoors
- Ensure your cleaning crew turns off all lights and electrical decorations before leaving your office.
- To prevent trips, falls, and accidental disposal, set up a box discarding station and communicate its location with your cleaning crew.
Gatherings
- If you’re hosting a holiday celebration in your office, hire a security team to keep the building secure and give your staff peace of mind.
