With the start of Hanukkah is just around the corner, it's a great time to review these holiday safety tips!
When celebrating, follow these guidelines:
- Be sure to place the menorah on a sturdy, nonflammable surface. (ex: glass, metal, marble)
- Do not place the menorah near or under any flammable materials like curtains, sheets, or books.
- Never leave lit candles unattended.
- Be sure to place candles away from the reach of pets or children who may knock it over.
- Keep dreidels away from young children and pets. They can pose a choking hazard.
The holidays always bring about a lot of delicious food! To keep everyone safe while cooking, read over these simple tips:
- Keep children away from the stove when frying foods.
- When reheating leftovers, be sure to remember that oils in the food can make it extra hot, so be careful when handling!
