Safety with Matches and Lighters

Buy match books that have a striking surface on the back cover.
Close the cover of the match book or box before striking the match.
Strike a match away from the direction of the body.
When striking a match, hold it an arm's length away.
Only use matches or lighters when nothing else is distracting you.
Matches or lighters are very dangerous around flammable liquids such as gasoline.
A waste basket is not an ash tray.
Throw a match away only after the flame is extinguished and cool to the touch.
Check your lighter regularly for cracks, leaks and other defects.
If lighter fluid is spilled on or near the lighter, it should be cleaned off completely before lighting the flame.
Persons with restricted mobility or reflexes and elderly persons must use extra caution with lighters and matches.
Teach children that matches are a tool that serve a good purpose when used properly but can be dangerous if used the wrong way.
