Fun Friday – The Great British Tea Debate!

At EC Safety Solutions, we take health and safety seriously, but every now and again, we like to lighten things up a little bit.

So here’s today’s big question and week long argument within the office:

When making a proper cup of tea, do you put the milk in before or after the hot water?

It’s a debate as old as time, and we’d love to hear where you stand!

Vote in the comments below and lets settle this once and for all:

❤️ = Milk before 🥛
👍 = Milk after 🍶
👏 = I leave the tea bag in to get maximum flavour
😀 = I don’t drink tea, let us know your go to drink in the comments☕🚫

Let’s see which team wins

🤏👅 Grabbing the tongue to stop someone choking when unconscious 🤏👅

It’s a sight many football fans may be familiar with; two players take a knock leaving one unconscious. But it is what follows next that we’re focussing on today. In an effort to stop the unconscious player from “swallowing their tongue”, some players think they need to grab it.

Well, we’re grabbing our whistle and blowing for fulltime on this myth. It is not humanly possible for you to swallow your tongue. However, it can still block the airway.

If someone is unconscious, tilting the head back will open the airway, as it lifts the back of the tongue away from the back of the throat. Using two fingers to lift the chin will clear the airway even more.

Three years ago, we proudly welcomed a new Health and Safety Advisor to the EC Safety Solutions team and what a journey it’s been since.

Back then, we knew we were bringing someone on board with great potential but what we’ve seen since has far exceeded expectations. In just a few short years, Alfred has grown into a respected, dependable, and highly capable senior health and safety professional, earning the trust of both colleagues and clients alike.

From conducting complex site audits to supporting major construction projects and helping develop our internal systems, Alfred’s contribution has been nothing short of outstanding. His calm, professional approach, technical knowledge, and commitment to continual improvement have made him a valued part of our team and an asset to every project he supports

It’s always rewarding to watch someone grow into their role and even more so when they go on to make a real impact across the business.

Here’s to Alfred’s continued success and many more years with us ahead!

"They shall not grow old
As we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun
And in the Morning"

We will remember them
