Please be advised that all employees planning to dash through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh, going over the fields and laughing all the way are required to undergo a risk assessment addressing the safety of open sleighs for members of the public. This assessment must also consider whether it is appropriate to use only one horse for such a venture, particularly where there are multiple passengers. Please note that permission must also be obtained in writing from landowners before their fields may be entered. To avoid offending those not participating in celebrations, we request that laughter is moderate only and not loud enough to be considered a noise nuisance.

Dont forget
Landing and take-off permission must be sought from the relevant air traffic authority, as well as permission to enter or leave designated air space.
Before landing Santa must sight the proposed area and check it is clear of obstructions, bearing in mind the sleigh takes up the room of 1500 houses. Large mirrors should be fitted to enable the rear of the sleigh to be viewed during parking. Care must be taken to avoid trees, overhead powerlines and chimneys. Chimneys should not be blocked as these must be clear to gain access to the houses. The landing area should be capable of supporting the 156,000 tonne vehicle. Collapse of any of the target houses would be unacceptable as the children would be woken.
Have a great Xmas everyone

Don't forget the hazard of malicious instances of high powered laser pens targeting the sleigh over cities.
I don't think Santa has an AOC for that sleigh of his. It certainly isn't on the list of registered aircraft for the UK. I don't know if G-HOHO is available?
Having said that, it would probably be on the Finnish register !!

Thunder I don't think we need worry about the health and safety aspects of this activity I believe Judith has looked at this and expecting a one horse to pull a slay full of laughing revelers through a snowy field is actually animal cruelty and a drink drive offence!
Is it Friday yet?

While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks:
While shepherds watched
Their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around
Risk control measures:
Requiring shepherds to watch their flocks without appropriate and flexible seating arrangements is a contravention of both Health & Safety regulations and human rights. The provision of benches, stools and orthopaedic chairs is therefore recommended. In addition, whilst provision has also been made for remote monitoring of flocks by CCTV cameras from a centrally heated shepherd observation hut; all facility users are reminded that an emergency response plan must be submitted to account for known risks to the flocks.
The angel of the Lord is also reminded that before shining his or her glory around, it must be ascertained that all shepherds are issued with suitable protective eyewear conforming to British Standards for filtering the harmful effects of UVA, UVB and the effects of overwhelming Glory.

*Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cracker pulling accidents.
*Three people die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.
*Five people were injured last year in accidents involving out of control Scalextric cars
*Eight people cracked their skull in after falling asleep while throwing up into the toilet.
*Fifty eight people are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers.
*One hundred and one people since 1997 have had to have broken parts of plastic toys pulled out of the soles of their feet.
*One hundred and forty two people were injured in 1998 by not removing all pins from new shirts.
*Five hundred and forty three people were admitted to A&E in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth.
*Eighteen people had serious burns in 1998 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth
*Nineteen people have died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas decorations were chocolate.
I recently shared the above with some degree students I lecture; worryingly, a number of them could relate to several of the above & I still perplexed about the 9v battery incidents!!
Be careful out there...!

Martin, my post should be viewed within the context of this particular thread!
It was used as a lighthearted interlude during the final session for this Semester & to prompt discussion, not as a definitive list of alleged incidents, however, some of them actually owned up to a few, including licking the top of a 9v battery when directed by an older brother!
H&S can be very dry, & I try (those of you who have had the "pleasure" of being past students may disagree) & I remember one organisation complaining that they were hearing laughter from the room.
If I recall, I was using the "Germans" sketch from Fawlty Towers where they show a fire evacuation - a brilliant sketch & a great teaching aid; check it out & see what I mean.

Is Glory ionising radiation or does it come under the Optical Radiation at Work Regulations 2010? Has someone done the COSHH for the frankincense and myrrh?
