I would therefore be grateful if you could please remove any rugs that could be causing a trip hazard, especially the ones that are ‘curling’, as soon as possible.
This guidance applies to all employees. XXXXXX's position is that festive events are not a celebration of any particular religious belief, but an annual opportunity to recognise employee contribution at a festive time of year for all XXXXXXX employees.All employees based at the location, regardless of their area of work or reporting line, should be invited to the Business Centre party. Such festive celebrations are classed as a work activity and employees must conduct themselves in a responsible and professional manner. The Company’s disciplinary procedures will apply in the event an employee’s conduct or behaviour is found to be unacceptable.If the day after a festive celebration is a normal working day, employees are expected to be in a fit state to carry out their work. Employees who attend work under the influence of alcohol or are absent from work without authority may be subject to disciplinary action.As any festive celebration is classed as a work activity, the company has a duty of care to its employees in respect of health & safety, and venues should be checked for suitability in this respect (for example, the location of the venue with regard to public transport). For those responsible for organising a festive celebration, it is recommended that a risk assessment be carried out at the venue to ascertain whether there are any factors which may affect the health and safety of employees.Employees may decorate their offices for the seasonal period, although the Company does not sponsor the purchase of these decorations. Decorations should be neutral and should not refer to any particular religion. In customer-facing areas or offices shared with non-XXXXXXX employees, agreement should be first sought from the client for decorations to be put up. Decorations should be put up no earlier than the 1st of December and should be taken away at the latest on the 6th of January.

Jesus A non-religious personality from history of any gender/race/sexual persuasion fucking wept.
As any festive celebration is classed as a work activity....
These people really need to check their definition of 'festive'. Type 'define:festive' to Google, taking the first definition somewhat changes that statement! QuoteAs any festive celebration is classed as a work activity....
I was told I had to wear shoes around the office the other day in case I stubbed my toe or stood on a drawing tack and held my employers responsible!!!
Quote from: slack---line on January 13, 2009, 04:44:46 pmI was told I had to wear shoes around the office the other day in case I stubbed my toe or stood on a drawing tack and held my employers responsible!!!I got told to do this in work, when I asked why i was told it's in case there's a fire, and you haven't got your shoes on, you'd be fucked.
Despite my above comments I am inclined to agree.But, a lot of health and safety to my mind simply boils down to common sense, but as I've typed that I've just realised the fatal flaw.....most people, it appears, are fuckwits and therefore need protecting from themselves
Anyone been made to attend a manual handling course? That really is a pile of old bollocks. We had to take it in turns to lift an empty box off a desk. If you didn't bend your legs or lock out your arms in the correct manner you had to try again, utter shite.
are generally nothing to do with H&S at all, and are more to do with stupid descisions taken by management level by councils/employers who're petrified by the thought of litigation, or just overzealous jobsworths.
To be fair, some rugs that curl at the edges can be very bad indeed; neither healthy nor safe.
