#1 Enjoy a safe holiday – Common holiday hazards and how to avoid them

Think about it

  • Being proactive about common holiday hazards and how to avoid them can help you and those around you enjoy a safe and rejuvenating holiday.
  • When we are exposed to new environments, we are more likely to slip, trip and fall especially if there is poor lighting or if there are cluttered walkways.
  • If you are using the holidays as a time to do DIY around the house, exercise caution when using ladders and other tools and always wear the correct protective gear for the job.
  • Remind others of the need to communicate the use of common food allergens and take adequate precautions when preparing and storing food for holiday gatherings.

Talk about it

  • Keeping safe means knowing what can harm us, in what way, the likelihood of that happening, and what we can do to control this.
    What hazards can you identify for the activities you have planned?

Act on it

  • Preparing for emergencies helps us to limit or eliminate hazards and risks by ensuring the correct controls are in place. Keep emergency numbers somewhere everyone can see.
