Decorating Safely for the Holidays

Dec 7, 2016 3:30 PM ET

Nobody wants to spend the holidays in the ER. Last year, more than 90,000 people are treated in the ER for ladder-related injuries and nearly 4,000 injuries associated with extension cords.

At Sodexo we use the 3 Checks for Safety before beginning any task as part of our Zero Harm Mindset. You can ask these questions at home too:

  1. Do I know how to do the job?
  2. Do I have the right equipment?
  3. Is my environment safe?
