Fire safety: The National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) says that half of home heating fires happen in December, January, and February. Candles are a common cause of home fires in December. Use candles safely.
Electrical safety: Electrical safety is important year-round, but it can be especially relevant in the winter when it's wetter.
Christmas tree safety: Decorations and novelty items can have dangerous parts, so keep them away from children and place them high up.
Carbon monoxide safety: Carbon monoxide poisoning can be deadly, and it's especially important to be aware of during the winter when people close their windows and turn up the heat.
Decorating safety: Holiday decorations can cause injuries if proper safety measures aren't taken.
Emergency prep: It's important to understand how to create an emergency action plan (EAP) in case of an emergency.
Keep your pets safe: Holiday plants like poinsettias, holly, mistletoe, and real Christmas trees can be toxic to pets.
