Thanksgiving is a time to gather and celebrate with family and friends over meals often cooked using safe and affordable natural gas. Before cooking, and reuniting with loved ones, it is helpful to keep these seasonal safety tips in mind:
- Homes should be equipped with carbon monoxide (CO) detectors on each floor to alert residents of leaks of this odorless gas.
- Make sure all smoke and CO detectors have working batteries. Test them by pushing the test button.
- Practice good health hygiene and wash hands with antibacterial soap and water before eating.
- Keep children away from hot surfaces and fryers.
- Clean any area that raw meat may have touched, as well as any dishes and utensils.
- Keep floors clear of bags, toys, boxes, and any household items to prevent tripping hazards.
- Be sure all cooking appliances are turned off after use, and extinguish all candles after guests leave.
- If any household member feels ill, stay at home to protect others.
PGW wishes our customers and employees a safe, healthy, and happy Thanksgiving. To support Philadelphia families in need this year, visit the United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey https://www.unitedforimpact.org/.
