Happy Holidays From All Shore Management: 5 Safety Tips for a Safe & Joyful Season
The holidays are one of the best times of the year—when homes fill with warm lights, familiar faces, and the comfort of gathering together. At All Shore Management, we’re proud to support the residents and communities we serve all year long, and we want to take a moment to wish every one of you a happy, healthy, and safe holiday season.
As you prep your home, welcome guests, and enjoy seasonal celebrations, here are five top safety reminders inspired by smart building-management practices. These small steps can help protect your home, your guests, and your peace of mind.
1. Keep Walkways Clear & Ice-Free
Whether you’re expecting a crowd or just a few visitors, make sure entryways, steps, and walk paths are clear of snow, ice, and debris. A quick salt or ice-melt application goes a long way toward preventing slips—especially during winter temperature swings.
2. Check Smoke & CO Detectors Before Cooking Events
Holiday cooking leads to a major spike in home fires. Before the holiday rush, test your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, replace dead batteries, and ensure units haven’t expired. One minute of maintenance can make all the difference.
3. Don’t Overload Outlets or Extension Cords
Between lights, slow cookers, space heaters, and holiday décor, it’s easy for electrical loads to add up fast. Avoid plugging too many high-draw appliances into one outlet, and use UL-listed surge protectors when needed. Safe power = safe party.
4. Ensure Heating Systems Are Venting Properly
If you’re hosting, your heat will likely be working overtime. Make sure vents are open and unblocked, filters are clean, and no flammable objects are placed near radiators or baseboards. A well-maintained heating system keeps your home comfortable and reduces risk.
5. Secure Entry Doors & Communicate With Guests
During holiday gatherings, doors tend to open and close frequently. Ensure entry doors latch properly, exterior lighting is working, and guests know where to park or enter. Small steps like these reduce confusion, improve safety, and keep your home running smoothly—just like any well-managed building.
