Taking Down Decorations

Taking Down Decorations
When setting up Christmas decorations this is often completed in late November or early December. During these times, there is often no snow and ice. So, when setting them up it is a safer time of year to be climbing on a ladder or the roof to place the decorations. However, when the holidays are finished there is likely going to be snow and ice for an extended period of time. If trying to take the decorations down then, it increases the risk for falls. Thus, it is good looking for a safer option.
One way to assist to prevent falls is by waiting to take them down later in the year when the snow and ice melts. While some may not want to wait that long to take them down, it is easier to wait to take them down than to rehab an injury after a fall. Another option is to hire this work out. While there is a cost to having someone come and take down the lights, it is again cheaper than going through the rehab process of an injury.
If you insist on taking down the decorations right after the holidays, take a few precautions when doing so. Things to keep in mind are making sure the ladder is set up so it cannot slip, do not rush the process, and take the decorations down with another person or let someone know you are taking them down so if something does happen, they can be there to assist you.
