It's that time of year again. It's important to remember safe work practices - even during the holiday season.
Tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable Christmas party include:
• choose a venue that is appropriate for planned activities
• remind staff about workplace policies, including your code of conduct, bullying and sexual harassment policies
• review and communicate your social media policy
• serve alcohol responsibly (this includes ensuring no alcohol is served to underage staff, and limiting or denying alcohol to intoxicated staff)
• ensure managers and senior staff members set a good example and model appropriate behaviours
• provide food and non-alcoholic drinks
• set appropriate start and finish times for the function
• choose a venue with access to public transport or facilitate safe transport options for staff who have been drinking (eg cab-charges, or designated drivers who won’t be drinking alcohol)
• consider appointing a responsible person to monitor the event, and to be a point of contact in the event of anything going wrong tis person should be familiar with workplace safety policies and have the authority to act on any issues that arise).
