 Common Accidents   

Accidents happen. It’s a common thing to say but it is true. No matter how careful you are, you are human and make mistakes. With all the work that goes into each holiday, it is easy to get caught up and hurt. According to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, the most common holiday mishaps are from toys, cooking, and holiday setups.   

 Toys  

Toys play a role in during the holidays. Especially if you have kids. They can also be linked to accidents if they are not handled the right way. Toys can be choking hazards. It is vital to read the age rules and safety advice on the toy box. Before you let your kids play with them. Toys like scooters can also lead to injury if not used safely. They are safer if kids use gear like helmets and knee pads.  

 Cooking  

Accidental burns can happen when cooking goes wrong. It is easy to be distracted during this time of year. Hot oil spills or touching a hot pan by mistake can happen if you are not paying attention. With different dishes being cooked at once, it is very easy to forget and rush thus leading to a burn. Food-related illnesses also happen if food is not stored or cooked the right way. Using good food safety can prevent any holiday sickness.  

 Decorating  

Decorating can lead to accidents. Some people might slip while putting up lights, fall from unsteady ladders, or get hurt when handling sharp ornaments.  Please think about these examples when you prepare your home for the holidays. It is crucial for your safety and the safety of your family to be careful while making your home festive.
