Position
candles well away from flammable objects and materials
and well away from any possible contact by pets or children. |
| • |
Place candles on heat-resistant surfaces,
which will not transmit heat to the furniture on which
they are placed. Ceramics work well for this purpose.
Candles should also be placed in heat resistant bowls
that will catch dripping wax, and secured in an appropriate
holder so there is not the slightest possibility of the
candle falling over, or being blown or knocked over. |
| • |
Never leave a burning
candle unattended. |
| • |
Never light a candle
in a situation in which you might fall asleep before blowing
it out. |
| • |
When blowing out a candle,
hold your index finger in front of the flame and blow
at it. Air will flow around your finger, extinguish the
candle from both sides and prevent hot wax from splattering. |
| • |
Install a smoke detector
in every room where candles are burned. |
