To make sure the “most wonderful time of the year” doesn’t become soured with injuries, you’ll want to make sure safety is your top priority when it comes to holiday decorations. Consider these precautions when making your office or job sites festive: If you want to install lights at an elevated height, use a contractor with the proper training and equipment. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an average of 5,822 falls requiring medical attention occur each year while installing holiday decorations (majority of these falls are from roofs and ladders).
