Fall Safety Tips

Fall is a favorite season for many, but it also brings seasonal risks. Whether you’re prepping your home or hitting the road, a few safety checks can go a long way. Below are some fall safety tips to help protect what matters most.

Practice Fire Safety

If you are planning a bonfire, choose an open area away from trees, structures, or dry vegetation, and always check for local burn bans or fire weather advisories first. Keep a hose, bucket of water, or extinguisher nearby, and fully extinguish the fire before leaving it unattened.

Prevent Slip and Fall Accidents

Darker days and earlier sunsets can turn walkways into hazards. Keep outdoor steps and driveways clear, use non-slip mats, and ensure adequate lighting around your home’s entryways.

Use Ladders and Tools Safely

Whether you’re clearing gutters or hanging decorates, use ladders with care. Always have someone spot you, avoid overreaching, and steer clear of power lines.

Watch for Signs of Illness

Fall marks the start of flu season. Keep hand sanitizer handy, cover coughs and sneezes, and consider speaking with your health care provider about ways to stay protected.
