Keep elf and safety measures strict over Christmas

Posted on November 27^th 2009

With the recession at its peak and the number of employees looking to claim compensation from their employers by any means necessary, you can see why employers may take a scrooge-like approach to the holiday season. Although this should not stop employers from putting up crimbo decorations or having a Christmas party as this will only reduce staff moral.

Instead any good employer will be confident with their own health and safety measures in place and will ensure that sensible policies are enforced throughout the winter period. Things that should be remembered whist arranging Christmas decorations should be; not to conceal emergency exits signs with decorations, not to create potential fire hazards and to ensure that none of the decorations cause a health and safety issue. With these measures in place the office can rejoice and enjoy the holiday period.
