Ahhh, Spring! Temperatures get warmer, days become longer and trees, flowers, and foliage are in full bloom. Spring is truly a cause for celebration for most of us. It’s time to get outdoors and hike, bike, walk, picnic, and enjoy our beautiful environment. Spring is also the perfect time to reevaluate your home and/or office to make sure the environment is safe for all. Protect Yourself From The Sun: Remember to wear sunscreen and hats while out in the sun, as prolonged exposure can lead to heat stroke. Limit time outdoors during midday when UV exposure is at its highest peak. Keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout outdoor activities - dehydration can be dangerous in extreme temperatures. Minimize alcohol and sugar intake while enjoying the sunshine. Family Emergency Plan: The National Safety Council recommends every family have an emergency plan in place in the event of a natural disaster or other catastrophic event. Spring is a great time to review that plan with family members. Be prepared by having a home emergency kit that includes one gallon of water per day for each person, at least a three-day supply of food, a flashlight and batteries, a first aid kit, a filter mask, plastic sheeting and duct tape, and medicines. Smoke Alarms: Three out of every five home fire deaths result from fires in homes with no smoke alarms, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Test your smoke alarms every month and replace the battery at least once a year. If the alarm makes a "chirping" sound, replace the battery immediately. Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Anything that burns fuel can potentially become a source of carbon monoxide, an invisible, odorless gas that can kill. CO alarms should be installed in a central location outside each bedroom and on every level of the home. The safety tips for CO detectors mirror those of smoke alarms: change the batteries, test them, and interconnect them, if possible. Also, make sure vents for your gas appliances (fireplace, dryer, stove, and furnace) are free and clear of snow or debris. Water Leaks: We live in the desert and water is a precious commodity. Check your sprinklers, pool equipment, hoses, and pipes. Undetected leaks can lead to black mold, which can lead to serious health complications. Water leaks can cause very expensive property damage repairs as well. General Safety Tips: Now that the Spring weather is here, we tend to feel that urge to get out and “fix stuff” around the house. Remember to use common safety sense when taking on physical tasks. Wear the correct protective clothing, eye protection, gloves, and footwear (no flip-flops when going up and down ladders). Check for frayed or damaged electrical cords. Respect and understand all power tools before you use them. Use your legs when lifting heavy or unbalanced objects. Also: NEVER leave small children or pets in your vehicle! It only takes a matter of minutes to cause serious illness, injuries, or death once the temperature begins to rise. Summer will sneak up on us before we know it, so make sure you take the time to appreciate nature’s revival before the heat wave hits. The attorneys and staff at Craig P. Kenny & Associates wish you and your family a happy, healthy, and fun Spring season. We truly appreciate your trust and loyalty, as well as your referrals.
