Home Safety for the Holidays
As we head into the holiday home stretch, be sure to check out Underwriters Laboratories’ newly-redesigned Safety At Home Web site, safetyathome.com, which offers several tips to help you have a safe and bright holiday season. The site also provides a series of articles to help you and your family stay safe throughout the year, including general home safety tips, safety for college students, a safety checklist for older adults, and much more.
UL is a safety certification company that has been testing, verifying and inspecting products for over 115 years. Today, the UL Mark can be found on all kinds of everyday products to certify that they have been tested, inspected and verified for safety. In fact, the average home has more than 128 products with the UL Mark on them, and even more during the holiday season.
Safetyathome.com was recently redesigned to be more interactive. You can watch safety videos on YouTube, share thoughts with UL on Twitter, view photos on Flickr and even weigh in on blog posts within their community.
The “Green Answers” articles found in the Environmental Safety section of safetyathome.com provide insights on common questions – everything from BPA to lead-based paints, as well as how UL goes about validating the many “green” claims out there.
So, enjoy your holidays safely, and start the new year off right by reading up on ways to make your home safer for your family.
