4th of July Fun: Top 5 Safety Tips 4th of July Fun: Top 5 Safety Tips
It seems like summer just started and now 4th of July is right around the corner. Whether you will be spending time at a BBQ with friends, on the road to see family, or just in the backyard with your own fireworks, there are a few safety tips to keep in mind to make sure things stay fun! 5. If you're planning a BBQ make sure you have two separate plates: one for when the meat is raw and one for after it's been grilled. Don't use the same dish. Do remember to wash your hands with soap and warm water after handling raw meat. 4. If hitting the road is on your agenda this Independence Day, keep in mind that there will be increased traffic, so practice the rules of the road. Make sure there are no distractions for the driver and take your car in for a checkup before traveling a long distance. 3. Summer means lots of sunshine, especially in California. Make sure you and your family apply (and reapply sunscreen) before doing anything outdoors. Even if it is partly cloudy out, it's important that you protect your skin. 2. When it comes to firework safety, make sure that your firework fun is legally approved and all activities are adult-supervised. Fireworks can be dangerous to people who aren't used to handling them and can be a hazard in dry temperatures, so proper precaution is a necessity. 1. Keep festivities safe for the kids. There is a lot of fun commotion happening during this holiday, so make sure that small decorations, fireworks, and any sharp utensils are kept out of reach of little ones. We wish you all a safe and happy 4th of July holiday! For more information about insurance coverage in California, please contact Cook, Disharoon & Greathouse in Oakland.
