For immediate release
Inspired by our recent ‘Mug’s game?’ article featured in Workplace Law Magazine, Workplace Law has produced 100 ‘Health and Safety Overkill’ mugs, to ensure that you and your staff take the necessary precautions when making your next cuppa.
The article itself arose after East Hertfordshire County Council spent £200 on a health and safety consultant to teach employees how to make a cup of tea safely. The expert produced a 17-page report on the hazards involved in making tea, recommending tea trolleys and hot drink dispensing machines to eliminate any risks posed by staff making their own drinks. It seems that employers are going to extreme lengths to avoid being sued.
We have 100 ‘Health and Safety Overkill’ mugs and each includes a handy checklist of important questions such as:
- PAT tested the kettle?
- checked for vermin faeces in the teabag container?
- checked the milk is in date?
- considered the slips/trips risk of carrying tea?
- checked the handle on the mug is secure?
- waited for tea to cool to safe temperature?
The limited edition, safe and secure mugs are already selling quicker than you can boil a kettle, so order yours today for only £5.99 (incl. VAT and P&P) by visiting www.workplacelaw.net or call 0870 777 8881.
