Memorial Day is a time to celebrate with family and friends, often outdoors. But with all the excitement, it’s important to prioritize safety. Here are some hot tips (pun intended!) to keep you and your loved ones safe this Memorial Day Weekend:
-
Drink + Drive = Big Mistake: Impaired driving is a leading cause of accidents on the road and the water. If you’ll be drinking, designate a driver, use a ride-sharing service, or stay put.
-
Don’t Get Burned!: Grilling safety is key. Keep your grill at least 10 feet from flammable objects, check for propane leaks, and assign a responsible adult to supervise.
-
Sun, Sand, & Safety: Constant supervision is crucial with young children at the beach. Drowning is a hazard, so keep a watchful eye on them at all times.
-
Click It & Clip It: Buckle up everyone in the car, no matter how short the trip. On the water, wear properly fitted life jackets. These simple steps can save lives.
-
Minimize Distractions, Maximize Memories: Put your phone down while driving or boating. Focus on the road or water and enjoy the quality time with loved ones.
