The holiday season brings joy and festivity to our homes, but it also comes with an increased risk of injuries related to decorating. At Cannon Pharmacy, we care about your safety as you transform your home into a winter wonderland.
Each year, thousands of people across North Carolina and beyond visit emergency rooms with injuries sustained while decorating. The most common incidents include falls from ladders when hanging lights, electrical shocks from damaged cords, cuts from broken ornaments, back strains from lifting heavy trees and decorations, and burns from candles or hot lights.
Always set ladders on level ground away from doorways. Have a spotter, keep three points of contact, avoid the top two rungs, and stay centered between the rails to reduce the risk of falls.
Check light strings for frayed wires, cracked sockets, or loose bulbs before use. Do not overload outlets or extension cords. Use plastic clips instead of nails, and keep outdoor plugs dry and away from metal gutters. Turn lights off when you leave the house or go to bed.
If you choose a real tree, water it daily to reduce fire risk. Keep trees at least three feet from heaters and fireplaces. Choose fire-resistant artificial trees when possible. Secure taller trees to prevent tipping, especially with children or pets at home. Turn off tree lights before sleeping or going out.
At Cannon Pharmacy, we recommend keeping these on hand during the decorating season:
