Ladder Safety Tip
Stay Safe While Holiday Decorating
Put safety first this holiday season. When decorating your home for one of the most magical times of the year, be sure to follow proper ladder safety procedures.
If you are hanging holiday lights outdoors, use an extension ladder that not only reaches the top of your roof, but extends two or three rungs above it. Also, consider asking a friend or family member to support the ladder. After all, this is a time for togetherness and holiday cheer!
