Commercial Property Holiday Decorating

Your Essential Safety Checklist

As the holiday season approaches, commercial property owners must balance creating festive atmospheres with maintaining safety standards.

Here's a comprehensive guide to ensure your holiday decorations meet safety requirements while spreading holiday cheer.

Fire Safety Considerations

  • Use UL-Listed Decorations: Ensure all electrical decorations carry the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certification mark.
  • Inspect All Lights: Check for frayed wires, broken sockets, and loose connections before installation.
  • Avoid Overloading: Follow manufacturer guidelines for connecting light strands and never exceed electrical outlet capacity.
  • Choose Flame-Resistant Materials: All decorative materials should be labeled flame-resistant or flame-retardant.

Placement and Installation

  • Clear Emergency Exits: Ensure decorations don't block exit signs, doorways, or emergency equipment.
  • Maintain Sprinkler Clearance: Keep an 18-inch clearance below sprinkler heads.
  • Secure Decorations Properly: Use appropriate mounting methods that won't damage walls or create falling hazards.

Accessibility Requirements

Maintain ADA compliance by ensuring:

  • Decorations don't reduce corridor width below minimum requirements
  • Floor decorations don't create tripping hazards
  • Hanging decorations maintain proper head clearance

Tree Safety Guidelines

  • Artificial Trees: Must be labeled as fire-resistant
  • Live Trees: Need daily watering and should be removed when dry
  • Placement: Keep away from heat sources and high-traffic areas

Staff Training and Maintenance

Property owners should:

  • Train staff on emergency procedures
  • Establish daily decoration inspection routines
  • Create a schedule for turning decorations on/off
  • Document all safety measures and inspections

Insurance Considerations

Review your insurance policy to ensure adequate coverage during the holiday season. Consider:

  • Liability coverage for decoration-related incidents
  • Compliance with insurance policy requirements
  • Documentation of safety protocols

Local Regulations

Always check and comply with:

  • Local fire codes
  • Building regulations
  • Municipal ordinances regarding holiday displays

Remember: Safety should never be compromised for the sake of festive decoration. Regular inspection and maintenance of holiday decorations is crucial for maintaining a safe environment for employees and visitors.

Property owners can create a festive atmosphere while maintaining a safe environment for all occupants and visitors during the holiday season.

Remember to document all safety measures and maintain regular inspections throughout the holiday season. Keep a checklist handy and assign responsible personnel for each safety aspect. Contact Us.
