Barbecue Safety Tips for National Grilling Month

July is National Grilling Month and it's the perfect time to remind your clients about grilling safety tips to keep them and their belongings safe. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, "There are around 5,700 grill fires on residential property each year, causing around $37 million in damages, 100 injuries and 10 fatalities." NU Property Casualty 360 has listed these 8 safety tips: 

1. Always operate your barbecue on a level surface.

2. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby when grilling.

3. Don't move the grill once it is lit. 

4. Keep children and pets away from the grill. 

5. Protect whoever is grilling with a heavy apron and oven mitts that extend over the forearm.

6. Only use lighter fluid specifically designed for grilling. 

7. Never grill indoors or in enclosed areas.

8. Wait until the grill has cooled before storing/covering it. You should also soak charcoal briquettes with water to ensure they are inactive before disposing of them.
