Holiday Safety Quiz
True or False?
Cool leftovers
from your holiday dinner before you put them in the refrigerator.
False. Leftovers should be refrigerated promptly. Food left at
room temperature provides a source of bacteria growth and the
risk of food poisoning.
Run extension
cords under a rug or carpet to prevent tripping.
False. Running cords under a rug or carpet creates a fire hazard.
Run your extension cord behind furniture to prevent tripping
or run it along the wall. If it's not long enough for this, get
a longer cord.
The best way
to treat frostbite is to immerse the injured area in hot water
and then rub it to restore circulation.
False. Warm the area gradually using lukewarm water and never
rub a frostbitten area; it may cause further injury to the frozen
tissue.
A major source
of seasonal stress is your own expectation of a perfect holiday.
True. Keep expectations realistic. Set a reasonable budget and
stick to it. Make a list and prioritize your activities. Forget
about perfection and enjoy the season.
