Ensure you are up to date with your Emergency Procedures and have access to Emergency Flip Charts 4.Travel Safely Be aware of any vehicle accidents and hazardous road conditions e.g. gravel/ potholes etc. If you are using Fleet vehicles be familiar with Fleet Management Procedure and know what to do if you get into vehicle accident or require roadside assistance. 5. Safe Ladder Use If you are installing Christmas decorations and lights in the office and need to use the ladder please be familiar with the Ladder Safety Factsheet 6. Electrical Safety If you are installing Christmas/fairy lights or any other electrical decorations around the office, please make sure these are test and tagged. Chords are not hanging too low that people walk into them or posing as a trip hazard. 7.
