GOOD IDEAS FROM CAROL - 148

After the snow comes the ice!? It’s looked lovely this week, but also been a bit treacherous.? So, as I’ve just remembered that my remit in one past job included health and safety (managing it, not specialising in it though), I thought something about staying safe would be good this week.

?

GOOD IDEA 1

Check floors for straying leads, upturned rug edges, liquid spills or anything else that could cause trips or slips.

?

GOOD IDEA 2

Check your shoe and boot soles for wear before venturing out on slippery surfaces.? It’s easy not to notice they’ve worn flat and stopped gripping.

?

GOOD IDEA 3

Lift your feet up. ??That’s been my downfall – literally – over the years; falling over is one of my life skills! ?If you shuffle rather than picking your feet up properly, you’re more likely to trip.

??

GOOD IDEA 4

Give your eyes a break by changing their focus at least every half hour if you spend a lot of time in front of screens.?? Your eyesight will benefit.

?

GOOD IDEA 5

Have some simple first aid items easily accessible. Plasters, scissors, antiseptic etc. ??(And if you’d like to try some Aloe Vera gel let me know and I’ll post you out a sample (UK only).

?

Stay safe and see you next week.
