🎅 Tis the season to be… SAFE! 🎄
Before you deck the halls, let’s make sure no one decks themselves in the process.

✨ Decorating Dangers ✨
If you’re tempted to stand on a wobbly swivel chair to put the star on the tree… don’t.

Grab a step-ladder instead, your ankles will thank you. (Fun fact: over 1,000 people end up on the naughty list of workplace injuries every year thanks to dodgy decorating!)

🎄 Fairy Light Fails 🎄
Before you switch on that winter sparkle, give your lights and cables a quick check.
And remember: unplug them before watering any real plants or displays, unless you fancy an electrifying Christmas surprise.

A sprinkle of planning keeps your workplace safe, merry, and bright.

Hypothermia happens when the body loses heat quicker than it can produce it and it can strike in minutes. Here’s what to look for and how to help ⬇️

⚠️ Signs of Hypothermia:
Uncontrollable shivering
Cold, pale skin
Slurred speech
Confusion or drowsiness
Slow breathing or weak pulse

🆘 First Aid Tips — What To Do:
Move the person to a warm, sheltered place
Remove any wet clothing
Warm them gradually using blankets, dry layers, or body heat
Offer warm (not hot) drinks if they’re alert
Call 999 if symptoms are severe or not improving
Never use direct heat (like hot water bottles on bare skin) — it can cause shock

Keeping your team or family safe starts with simple knowledge that makes a BIG difference. ❄️✨
