Holiday (Yes, I said Holiday) Safety: Don’t Let Festivities Turn into Fiascos

The holidays are full of cheer, but also hazards! Slippery steps, overloaded outlets, and chaos in the kitchen can turn festive fun into a real headache, and it becomes easy for holiday safety to take a back seat.

This season, take a cue from TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis: pause, assess, prevent. Keep walkways clear, check ladders, and store cords out of the way. Make safety fun.

Celebrate smart, celebrate safe, and make safety part of your holiday tradition!
