Keep your tailgate as safe as can be with these tips.
It’s that time of year again. Time to watch as your favorite football team, whether they be in the NFL or the NCAA, go head to head in the coming season. Get ready for watch parties and tailgates aplenty. However, as you enjoy the game, remember to put safety first. Check out these tailgate safety tips so that your tailgates goes off without a hitch.
Food Safety.
When tailgating, you don’t have a fridge sitting nearby to keep all your perishables cool. Your cooler does a decent job at keeping them cool, however, only for a short period of time. Avoid getting sick and remember to pay attention to your food temperatures so that you can rest easy knowing that your food is okay to eat.
Keep a Fire Extinguisher Handy.
When grilling, it’s always a good idea to be prepared. Invest in a fire extinguisher to keep nearby so that you can deal with any cooking mishaps.
Stay Hydrated.
Spending the afternoon in the sun can be dangerous to your health, especially if you’ve had a drink or two. Stay safe at your tailgate and remember to drink plenty of water. That way you stay well hydrated and avoid any heat-related illnesses.
Leave Valuables at Home.
It’s never a good idea to bring your valuables with you to a game. Leave them safely at home to avoid any disasters. If you must bring them to a game, do not leave them in the car and always keep a watchful eye on them.
Drink Responsibly.
It’s not uncommon to have a drink or two at a tailgate. Remember to drink responsibly and to always designate a designated driver. Additionally, use extra caution when driving in the area to avoid any traffic accidents.
