FirstEnergy shares tips for safe holiday decorating
Ladder Up for a Merry (and Safe) Outdoor Display
Check these tips to start your holiday magic on the right foot:
- Look around. Keep yourself, your decorations and your equipment – including ladders, lifts and long-handled tools – at least 10 feet away from power lines.
- Choose the right ladder. Use a sturdy step ladder with slip-resistant feet. If you're heading to the roof, carry your ladder horizontally.
- Bring a buddy. If you're using a ladder or aerial lift, make sure you have a spotter and he or she can see you clearly.
- Place lights carefully. Don't throw lights or decorations into trees or structures.
- Secure your setup. Anchor decorations to prevent damage from winter winds.
- Skip the poles. Never attach decorations to utility poles or electrical equipment. It's not just risky – it's dangerous.
- Call for help. If something gets tangled in a power line, don't touch it. Call 888-LIGHTSS and we'll take care of it.
Tinsel Without Trouble
Holiday cheer begins with smart decorating. Here's how to keep it safe:
- Check for damaged cords. Replace any with cracks, frays or exposed wires and watch for heat. Unplug cords that feel hot to the touch.
- Read the UL label. A red tag means it's safe for indoor and outdoor use; green is for indoor only.
- Use ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) outlets. These help prevent electric shock, especially outdoors.
- Use clips, not nails. Staples and nails can damage cords and create hazards.
- Manage your cords. Don't run cords under rugs or furniture indoors, or across walkways outside.
- Don't overload outlets. Too many plugs can cause overheating and start a fire.
- Go flameless. Choose LED candles for a safer glow.
- Keep lights clear. Lights should not touch curtains, carpets or furniture indoors.
