Now onto more the more serious stuff….

Although Christmas is for celebrating with family & friends, it’s also a great time of year for thieves as everyone is out of the office. Below are a few things we think you need to prevent this while away on the holidays. 

 

Safety on Site

Security – Remember to check that your premises are secure over the holiday period. Safety lighting is good prevention.

Making sure your gates and doors are locked is paramount – padlocks and chains will be of good use. 

 

Any stationary vehicles across the Christmas period may benefit from antifreeze to keep vehicles maintained and running for when you return to the office.

Turning electrical plugs off at the source is a great way to save on your electricity bill. 

Make sure fire doors are closed and valuables aren’t on display.

 

Return in January

Plan to hit the ground running in January 2020;

1. Have yourself and employees create to do lists
2. New year’s resolutions & promises
3. Consider your goals and objectives for Q1
4. Cold weather preparation

 

Remember to keep your eyes out for a hamper in the post!
