Holiday parties, year-end pressure, and reduced staffing create a predictable spike in workplace incidents. Alberta employers who plan ahead can keep their workers safe and their operations running through December.
The holidays are a busy time of year for many people and sometimes the small things are easily overlooked. So in the spirit of the holiday season, Safety Ahead would like to give everyone some holiday tips for things such as holiday decorations and planning a road trip to help you make sure your Christmas is not only merry but safe as well.
We wish everyone a safe and Merry Holiday season and we hope 2018 brings everyone continued prosperity, happiness and growth!
