Choking baby boy saved by 'heroic' hotel staff
Two managers at Shrigley Hall hotel in Macclesfield save an eight-month-old boy from choking.
20/02/2026
289 people died from choking in the UK last year. Many of these deaths were preventable.
In the workplace, choking emergencies happen more often than you think:
⭐ Staff eating lunch at their desks
⭐ Team meetings with refreshments
⭐ Break room incidents
⭐ Client lunches and events
The question isn't IF a choking emergency will happen in your workplace—it's WHEN.
Is your team prepared?
Most employees have never been trained in choking response. When an emergency happens, they freeze, panic, or use incorrect techniques that can make things worse.
