22 May Outdoor Party Safety
With warm weather and long summer nights, you may want to crack open some cold beverages and invite some friends over for a barbeque. Before you stir up the sangria, take a minute to remember these outdoor party safety tips:
- Limit Hazards
- Check for uneven walkways or tripping hazards throughout your party area.
- Keep the area well lit so everyone knows where they are walking once it gets dark.
- If you have a pool, check out our Swimming Pool Safety Tips blog for pool safety info!
- Limit Alcohol
- Having a few drinks at a party is fine as long as everyone drinks responsibly.
- Remember, you can be held liable if something were to go wrong with a guest due to drinking at your home.
- Always have nonalcoholic choices for guests.
- If you see a guest who has had too much, make sure they have a safe ride home or offer them a place to stay at your house.
- Practice Food Safety
- Always keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot. Otherwise, they may go bad quickly. Bacteria spread quite easily on foods that are not kept at the right temperatures.
- Keep meats refrigerated until you plan on grilling.
- Do not leave salads or condiments in the hot sun. Instead, keep them indoors and put them back in the fridge within an hour.
- Practice Grilling Safety (Check out our Outdoor Grilling Safety Tips blog for more info!)
- Always keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot. Otherwise, they may go bad quickly. Bacteria spread quite easily on foods that are not kept at the right temperatures.
- Sun Protection
- Even if the sky is a bit cloudy, guests can easily become sunburned.
- Offer sunscreen and plenty of shady areas to escape the sun’s hot rays.
- Practice Fire Safety
- Fire pits are a lot of fun as long as everyone respects a safe distance and allows one person to be in control of the fire.
- Do not allow children near the fire without adult supervision.
- If you’re using fireworks, check out our At-Home Fireworks Displays Safety blog for more info!
Enjoy your summer parties!
