Keeping Your Family Safe in the Summer

As Summer winds down and we have one last holiday weekend ahead of us, it is a great time to remember some great Summer safety tips.

While a pool is hours of fun for the entire family, it is very important to follow several important rules for safety:

+ Never leave children unattended
+ Stay away from pool drains, pipes and openings
+ Learn and know CPR and First Aid
+ Do not swim when there is a broken drain or drain cover
+ Always check pool and hot tub covers to ensure they work properly
+ Use self-closing and latching gates

Some great safety tips for around the house and yard:

+  Always supervise children outside
+ Keep children inside while mowing or trimming
+  Grill in an open, well-ventilated space, keeping kids and pets away from the grill
+ Keep paint, fertilizers and bug killers out of reach of kids and pets
+ Put away all lawn and garden tools and out of reach of children
+ Put ladders and tools away and out of reach of children
+ Keep emergency numbers posted (911, police, fire department, poison control, etc.)

Enjoy the rest of your Summer and stay safe!
