IT’S TIME TO PREPARE FOR SPRING!
3 Spring Safety Tips April marks the first whole month of spring! So now is the perfect time to talk about some spring safety tips for the weather and seasonal conditions that may come your way. These safety tips are important because some people think that the harsh weather conditions are behind us. But the elements of warmer weather have different safety precautions that are important to note. Replace smoke alarms. A smoke alarm needs to be installed in every bedroom and any common area that your home may have to ensure better safety. It’s best to replace your smoke alarms every year — this ensures that you and your family will be notified if there is ever a fire in your home. Three out of five home fires were caused because smoke alarms weren’t working correctly. This is why it’s essential that you check your smoke alarms each month to
ensure they are on and in good working order. If you hear your alarm making a chirping sound, then replace the batteries immediately. Check carbon monoxide detectors. Like smoke alarms, a carbon monoxide detector will alert you if there is a carbon monoxide leak in your home. These invisible, odorless gases are highly detrimental to your health if you breathe in too much of the gas. You want to make sure that you have one of these detectors outside of each bedroom and common area in your home. You should also check it monthly to ensure that it is working properly. After checking to see if they work, it can be beneficial to dust them off to ensure that smoke can reach the detector’s sensors. Create an emergency plan. With warmer weather ahead of us, hurricanes and thunderstorms are more prominent. The
National Safety Council recommends that each family create an emergency plan in case a natural disaster ever strikes. This plan should consist of where you and your family will meet in case of an emergency and who you will contact if you and your family are split up. If your family already has a plan, now is a great time to review it to make sure everyone understands the plan. You can also make modifications to it if you desire to do so. You can also use this time to make an emergency kit for your cars and home. These three tips will help you and your family be more prepared for whatever lies ahead. Keep these tips in mind as you’re doing your spring cleaning this year. It never hurts to take that extra step to ensure your family is safe and ready for anything.
