Food and drink play an important part in your entertaining. Establish an area away from the spa or hot tub for refreshments to prevent accidental slips or falls caused by spills near the spa or tub on the deck, and to prevent debris from falling into the facility. More likely than not your guest will be barefooted while near the spa or hot tub. Use only unbreakable dishes, beverage containers and utensils. Never use glass anywhere near the spa or hot tub.
Broken glass is invisible in water and extremely difficult to get out of the support system.
Keep electrical appliances a significant distance from the spa or hot tub. Don't use extension cords. Where possible, use battery operated appliances around the spa or hot tub. Electrocution from appliances and telephones in contact with water is a real danger. If you use your spa or hot tub at night, provide adequate lighting around the facility.
