Christmas Light Safety Guide

General Safety Guidelines

Before starting any Christmas light installation, always follow these safety precautions:

  • Make sure to use GFCI outlets when working outdoors to prevent electrical shock.
  • Never install lights near power lines or use metal ladders near electrical wires.
  • Always use proper ladder safety techniques—4:1 rule for extension ladders and tie-off where necessary.
  • Inspect all light strands and cords for damage before installation.
  • Use the proper safety gear (roof harnesses, gloves, Cougar Paws shoes) for roof installations.
