When going on holiday please consider the following :-

• Always know the emergency telephone number –mainly 112 in Europe. But
check on the Internet what the emergency numbers are and put them in your
mobile phone
• Check that large panes of glass are safety glass –put stickers on them if not
• Check where fire exits are
• Check where fire extinguishers are
• Check that you know the number of a local doctor
• Take a first aid kit with you
• Carry out a basic risk assessment for what ever activities you are doing. Eg. No
running next to the pool –slippery tiles
• Ensure small children wear arm bands around the pool
• Observe swimming flags at the beach
• Always have comprehensive holiday insurance

If this message saves one person from being hurt it has served its purpose.
