Sally, our OH Adviser, has just finished decorating the office tree - and while it's looking very festive, it's also the perfect reminder to tick off a few seasonal safety checks:
β
Are your Christmas lights PAT tested?
β
Any damage on cables? (If yes, retire them, donβt tape them!)
β
Donβt overload extension leads β we know itβs tempting
β
Candles? Our Fire Risk Assessor wonβt even look at them
β
Power down anything that doesnβt need to stay on over Xmas
β
Check all windows and doors are locked before close-down
β
Keep wrapping paper and boxes away from heaters and exit routes
β
No tinsel near heaters β itβs sparkly, not safe
β
Watch out for ice or slippery leaves outside
A few quick checks now = a peaceful, drama-free Xmas break π
