After a cold winter, there are many activities we like to do in the spring such as spring cleaning and working on projects around the house, cooking out with neighbors or taking a trip to the beach.

No matter what your spring plans are, tackle them with safety in mind.

Spring Cleaning

? Hazardous materials like cleaning supplies, pesticides and gasoline should be properly marked and stored in a safe, secure place away from children

? Wear rubber gloves when using hazardous chemicals to prevent their contact with skin

? Never mix chemicals

? Always seek advice regarding proper disposal of hazardous materials

Yard Work

? Always wear proper protective clothing and eyewear

? Inspect the yard before mowing to prevent launching hazardous objects

? Read manufacturers instructions on all power tools before using

? Unplug all power tools when not in use

Water Safety

? Always check the depth of the water before jumping in

? Always supervise children in and around the water

? Always use an approved personal flotation device when involved in water activities like boating, jet-skiing, tubing or water-skiing

Grilling Safety
