The holiday season is in full swing! December is one of the busiest months of the year - with extra shopping, decorating and socializing - so it’s a good time to take a moment and focus on holiday safety.
Holiday Shopping
Gift giving is fun and rewarding, but holiday shopping can hold several hazards. Here are a few tips to help give you a safer experience:
• Take a friend with you – there is always safety in numbers
• Never leave valuables where they can be seen in your car
• Keep your keys in your hand when walking to your vehicle; get in quickly and lock the doors right away
• When shopping online, only give your credit card information to reputable sources
• Before you make a purchase from an individual, run a background report on the seller
• Don’t leave empty boxes outside of your house – they can show criminals what you have waiting inside

Decorations
Holiday decorations can brighten any home of office, but every year hundreds of homes are accidentally set on fire. Follow a few simple precautions to help avoid disaster:
• Unplug your holiday lights at night, or when they will be unattended for a long period of time
• If you have a tree, keep it well watered to make it more fire-resistant
• Candles make beautiful decorations, but they should never be placed near flammable objects or in areas where they may be easily knocked over
• Keep working smoke detectors in your home, and don’t forget fresh batteries
Socializing
December is packed with social occasions: parties, work events, outings with friends. Before you go out, take a moment to think about safety:
• Never let your beverage out of your sight; it only takes a moment for someone to slip something in a drink
• Meet someone new while you were out? Learn more about them before accepting a holiday date by running a Stud Or Dud report
• Plan ahead to have a safe trip home; never drink and drive
