8. Spring into Safety
Spring is a popular time to clean and reorganize homes and garages slightly neglected during the win-
ter. Discard medicines, chemicals and cleaning products which are out-of-date and not clearly labeled,
CLEANING and store them out of reach of children and pets. Separate newspapers, rags and other combustible
material from fireplaces, dryers and other heating elements to prevent fire. Clean up clutter and store
tools safely.
Emergency rooms see more lawn mower mishaps each year. Rid the lawn of stones, sticks and other
GRASS possible flying debris before mowing. Wear shoes and avoid loose-fitting clothes. Turn off the gas
CUTTING tank when filling up, and store gasoline-approved containers in cool areas away from children, pets
and homes. Never leave a running mower unattended, and constantly keep an eye out for children.
Check barbecue grill propane tanks for gas leaks or cracks, and only grill outdoors. Do not grill in the
GRILLING garage; this prevents carbon monoxide poisoning.
Stay hydrated when performing yard duties in the hot sun, and use gloves, eye protection and other
YARD protective clothing. Trimmers, power saws and other lawn tools cause numerous injuries each year.
MAINTENANCE Operate tools safely and store them unplugged in a safe place. Do not use tools with broken or worn
parts or wiring. Avoid contact with power lines, other wiring, ladders or cutting tools.
POISONOUS PLANTS Familiarize yourself and family with the visual characteristics of poison ivy, oak, sumac and other
harmful plants that can cause severe itching and health problems. Avoid these plants when outdoors.
Avoid walking on thinly-iced lakes or rivers. Rivers can be dangerously high from excessive rain and
WATER recent thawing of winter snow and ice. Avoid standing on river banks with swiftly-moving waters.
SAFETY Spring waters can be cold enough to cause hypothermia. All boaters should take a safety course, wear
life vests and be mindful of other boaters and partially submerged objects in the water.
Humidity can bring harsh weather. Listen to weather reports for impending storms before going
WEATHER outdoors and in or near water. Know what to do and where to seek shelter in the case of a tornado.
Prepare an emergency kit with flashlights, a radio and extra batteries.
Ladders cause many emergency room visits each year. Inspect ladders for loose rungs and keep them
LADDERS secure and level. Follow weight restrictions. Extended reaching can lead to imbalance and injury.
Allergies are a big part of spring for many people. Get advice from your doctor on which allergy
ALLERGIES medication to keep handy and have it ready for anyone in the family that needs it.
FIRE The warm days of spring are a good time to go over the fire escape plan with your family and start do-
SAFETY ing some practice drills to make sure everyone knows what to do and where to go.
Some other Spring safety tips include:
• Always wear sunscreen outdoors. Even if it's overcast, the UV rays can still cause sunburns. Re-
member - SPF measures how long it can protect your skin. A 20 SPF protects you from burning 20
times longer than normal.
OTHER • When you're going on camping trips or other long excursions, make sure you carry a first-aid kit
TIPS with you, just in case. You can purchase a readymade kit or build one yourself.
• It can be a good idea to use some sort of insect repellent. Some insects can carry dangerous diseases.
There are many effective repellents on the market, including some organic ones, if you're concerned
about the chemicals.
Follow these safety and health tips, so you can ensure that your Spring is as safe, healthy and fun as
possible.
