As Christmas fast approaches, homes and streets transform into dazzling displays of lights and decorations. While the festive atmosphere is heartwarming, it’s essential to prioritize safety during this joyous time. Christmas decorations, especially electrical ones, can pose significant risks if handled incorrectly. Emergencies can happen instantly, but with the EmergiNet app, you’re never unprepared.

Christmas Decor Safety Tips for a Safe and Bright Celebration 

1. Purchase Certified Products: Always ensure that the decorations you buy are legitimate and approved by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). Certified products are tested for safety, reducing the risk of electrical faults or fires.

2. Inspect for Damages: Before plugging in your Christmas lights, check for exposed or damaged wires. Faulty lights can cause short circuits or spark fires. If you find any issues, avoid using them altogether.
3. Avoid Overloading Plugs: Refrain from plugging all decorations or appliances into a single extension cord or electrical outlet. Overloading can cause overheating, which might lead to an electrical fire.

4. Turn Off Decorations When Unattended: Switch off all electric-powered decorations if you’re leaving the house or before going to bed. This simple step can prevent overheating and potential accidents.
