Experts recalled the rules for choosing safe decor for the New Year

Experts remind you of safety rules that will help avoid injuries and fires. The publication Vslukh.ru shares advice.

First of all, you need to pay attention to electric garlands. It is important to use only high-quality products with certificates. Under no circumstances should they be left turned on unattended. You should also place garlands away from heaters and flammable objects.

When choosing New Year's toys, it is better to give preference to unbreakable options made of plastic or wood. This is especially important in homes with small children or pets. In addition, you should avoid jewelry with small parts that could be accidentally swallowed.

It is also better to use safe battery-powered candles rather than real candles. If you plan to light a fireplace, you need to check its functionality in advance.

It is important to remember that outdoor decorations are intended for outdoor use only. They should not be used indoors as they are not designed for such conditions and may cause a fire.
