A Sizzling Reminder About Insurance - Thursday is National Bacon Lovers Day
National Bacon Lovers Day, celebrated each year on August 20, is a fun excuse to enjoy a crispy breakfast favorite, a loaded BLT, or a bacon-topped burger. But for insurance professionals, it can also be a lighthearted way to talk about everyday risks.
After all, most bacon starts in the kitchen, where hot grease, open flames, and distracted cooking can quickly turn a celebration into a claim. Homeowner and commercial property insurance may help after certain fire or smoke damage, but prevention is always the best policy. Some simple safety tips include:
• Keep towels, packaging, and paper plates away from the stove
• Never leave bacon unattended, and use a splatter screen when frying
Business owners with restaurants, food trucks, and catering can use the day to review commercial property, general liability, workers’ compensation, and equipment breakdown coverage. A themed promotion may bring more customers, but it can also increase slip-and-fall risks, employee injuries, or food-related complaints.
National Bacon Lovers Day is meant to be delicious, not disastrous. So enjoy the sizzle, share the snacks, and take a moment to make sure your coverage is as ready as your skillet. Enjoy your day!
