Risk assessment for the work Christmas lunch

[HelenInHeels]

The team are going for Christmas lunch next week (and going back to work afterwards). The health and safety manager has asked everyone to read and sign a risk assessment form. Covering things like: alcohol can impair judgement. There may be people fighting so be careful. Be aware of allergies.

I'm speechless.

They were the good old days

Some people are very efficient, they could have 3 courses and cheese and still fit casual sex in.

We've all got the same 24hrs.

🤣🤣🤣

So in past years, the risk assessment has worked to prevent problems?

its covering there arse the reality is they won’t have the slightest interest
but ultimately it’s work related and there could be repercussions for them

I think the "extra hour and then back to work" feels like it was dreamt up by Ebenezer himself.

Either have an evening do or give the afternoon off (happened at my workplace in the 70s, each team was covered by the others in turn) As I've remembered this was supplemented by the totally riotous "party in the office" on the last day, complete with mobile disco (and the top boss covering the phone and reception) I have to accept that they were just different times

I came to say this because a partner in a firm I worked for years ago did exactly this, broke the photocopier and left an arse hair on it. That was nice.
