SPOOKY SAFETY - please don't forget the safety element of Hallowe'en this year - ensure any costumes are fire retardant (especially important for children) - if you aren't sure then spray the clothes with fire retardant spray which is easily available from various suppliers on the internet.
DIVERSITY DOOM - have you an updated diversity policy? Ghosts and zombies were people once and should be included. Or perhaps that is just witchful thinking?
GHOSTLY GRIEVANCES - never summon what you cannot banish - and if you get stuck then give HR Vision a call
Bats all for now, eat, drink and be scary!
Fire Strike Saturday 19 October
Once again the Fire Brigade are striking - only this time its a Saturday. If you have employees working on Saturday then this definitely applies to you - however it is common sense to take precautions anyway.
As before, businesses need to ensure that their fire risk assessment is up to date. If you have employees working on Saturday then measures reducing the risk of fire need to be put in place and emergency plan to ensure evacuation without the need for the Fire Brigade.
Ensure you know who is working this Saturday and that you have considered their safety, delaying activities that have increased risk of fire, rescheduling deliveries of flammable substances, reducing inventories of flammable or toxic items.
