The festive season is in full swing and everyone is feeling very merry! The decorations are out and the Christmas trees are up, but did you know that decorations and Christmas trees are a massive fire risk? No-one wants their Christmas ruined by a fire caused by a Christmas tree or decorations! Make sure you are being wise and taking fire safety precautions this season to stay safe.

  • Check that your Christmas tree lights have the British Safety Standard sign.
  • Check the fuses are the right type.
  • Replace any broken bulbs.
  • Always turn Christmas light off when you leave the office.
  • Don’t let the fairy lights touch any decorations or anything that can burn easily, like paper or cardboard.
  • Don’t attach decorations to lights or fireplaces.
  • Keep all decorations and trees away from candles.
  • Test your smoke alarms regularly. 
  • Avoid leaving an oven unattended and don’t cook under the influence of alcohol.
  • Make sure your visitors know how to escape in the event of a fire.
  • Make sure all cigarettes are put out properly.
  • Store fireworks safely.
