Know Who’s Visiting<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The holidays can be a time of lots of coming and going. If you or other housemates are expecting visitors, it is critical that you know who is coming and when they are arriving. This is especially true if people are coming to visit that you are not very familiar with. Talk with everyone in the house concerning announcing arriving guests and how everyone in the home must be aware of who is visiting and when they are visiting. <\/p>\n

Stick To Regular Safety Tasks <\/strong><\/h2>\n

You might be tempted to do things a bit differently if you have visitors coming for the holidays. For instance, if there are lots of visitors who will be coming and going during the day, you might be tempted to leave doors unlocked. Although this could be more convenient, this is not a good idea. Come up with more secure ways to ensure everyone can come and go as they need to or request that coming and going be kept to a minimum if you are not at home. <\/p>\n

Be Smart With Holiday Lights and Decorations <\/strong><\/h2>\n

It’s lots of fun to put up holiday lights and decorations, but these can pose risks if installed incorrectly. Be sure to follow instructions precisely for any decorations that use electricity. <\/p>\n
