About 9 Alert 9 Charging Safely

Do your kids charge devices on their beds or under pillows? 🔋🔥

Make sure they know the risks! Always charge laptops, phones and tablets on hard, flat surfaces like desks or tables. Avoid charging on beds, under pillows or leaving devices plugged in overnight or unattended.

Every Tuesday, you should ‘push the button’ to test your alarms. Keep yourself safe by making sure that your alarms are functioning.
