Survive the festive chaos! ๐คฏ๐๐ง
The festive period is busy, messy and unpredictable, so stay one step ahead with our 5 top tips!
1๏ธโฃ Stay steady: Prevent slips, trips & falls ๐ง
Ice, rain and mud increase the risk of accidents. Grit walkways, use entrance mats, and encourage slip-resistant footwear to keep everyone on their feet this winter.
2๏ธโฃ Travel smart in winter weather โ๏ธ
Festive traffic and poor conditions mean extra care is needed. Allow more time for journeys, check vehicles before travel, and avoid unnecessary trips during severe weather.
3๏ธโฃ Lift with care during the busy season ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ
With increased deliveries and stock movement, remind staff to use correct manual handling techniques and equipment. Ask for help with heavy or awkward loads.
4๏ธโฃ Keep fire & electrical safety in mind ๐ฅ๐ก
Extra lights, heaters and decorations can increase fire risk. Donโt overload sockets, keep exits clear, and make sure fire alarms and escape routes are checked and accessible.
5๏ธโฃ Look after wellbeing, yours & others ๐ค
The festive period can be stressful. Encourage regular breaks, manageable workloads and open conversations. A supportive workplace is a safer workplace.
