Welcome to the December issue of e:news from Health & Safety Matters
If you are likely to be a designated driver this festive season hopefully your experience isn't as bad as AA Drivetech's Tips for designated drivers is preparing people for – see full article below. The advice suggests drivers should carry sick bags and take note of where their nearest A&E is just in case passenger inebriation later turns into something more serious!
As always, if you're interested in receiving further details on any of the products or services listed below, please use the free reader enquiry service. Don’t forget to leave contact details and a brief description of your requirements.
The HSM team wishes you a happy festive season and prosperous new year.
