- If you use a natural Christmas tree, make sure you water it often (preferably every day).
- Keep any Christmas tree clear of fireplaces, radiators, TV sets or other sources of heat.
- Make sure your Christmas tree lights have a listing label (for example UL).
- Before placing light strings on the Christmas tree, check that the lights work properly.
- Before using, make sure your light cords have no frayed or bare wires or loose connections.
- Before using, make sure your light cords have no cracks or broken or empty sockets.
- Don't repair decorative lights; replace them to be safe rather than sorry.
- Don't overload electrical circuits; use fused power strips and not multi-plug adapters.
- Keep all paper products and packages away from the decorative lights.
- Always turn your Christmas tree lights off before going to bed or leaving the house.
- Keep light strings and other electrical decorations out of children's reach.
- Candles are not recommended, but if you do use them, never, ever leave the tree unattended.
