Happy Thanksgiving from Perry Johnson Registrars, Inc. (PJR)! Discovering safe travel and cooking practices during the holiday season is crucial for a joyful and accident-free celebration. As Thanksgiving initiates this festive period, here are some essential tips to ensure safety while traveling and cooking.

For those hitting the road, vehicle readiness is key. Prioritize a well-maintained vehicle, rest adequately before driving, and equip an emergency kit. Alongside defensive driving, buckle up every passenger and refrain from distractions like cell phones. If festivities involve alcohol, appoint a sober driver for everyone’s safety.

Cooking, although a cherished tradition, poses fire risks. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, cooking accounts for nearly half of all home fires. To prevent mishaps, install smoke alarms strategically, avoid loose clothing while cooking, and never leave cooking food unattended—especially during frying, grilling, or baking. Engage timers, maintain a three-foot safe zone for kids and pets, and routinely clean surfaces to avert grease buildup.

Prioritizing safety measures during travel and in the kitchen ensures a harmonious and incident-free holiday celebration. Moreover, considering additional safety equipment such as fire extinguishers adds an extra layer of precaution. We encourage everyone to embrace these safety protocols, enhancing the joy of the season while prioritizing well-being.
