Commit a Minute to Safety this Season
Every minute, 17 children go to the emergency room with unintentional injuries - that's 9.2 million a year.* But it doesn't have to happen and UL is here to help. As the only independent, global safety organization with more than 100 years of expertise, we are constantly working to help you keep your family safe. From testing everyday products in our labs to certifying sustainability in the future, we continually innovate the very definition of safety. You can find more than 125 of our trusted UL Marks in the average American home and our educational offerings and programs reach millions worldwide.
This season, to help protect the ones you love, we encourage you to Commit a Minute to Safety. Start with these three quick, simple actions:
- Water your tree daily
- Always blow out unattended candles
- Look for the UL Mark on lights and decorations
It just takes a minute for accidents to happen. But it also just takes a minute to help prevent them. To learn more ways that you can Commit a Minute to Safety, visit SafetyAtHome.com or download The Twelve Days of Holiday Safety.
