Santa’s not the only one making a list this Christmas

“I love this time of year. Long hot days, big ‘gotta get it done’ jobs and tired people - my favourite things! Last summer I took 15 people working on farms, vineyards, forests and construction sites; I even took a bystander.”

To avoid being part of this year’s summer harvest there are some simple things you can do while working: drink plenty of water, take breaks and if a situation looks or feels dodgy then STOP.  THINK about your options and DO act in the safest way.

A moment’s thought can save you and your family from a Grim Christmas.
