Don’t drink and drown!
Walking near or entering the water while under the influence of drugs or alcohol can lead to drowning.
If you’ve been enjoying a drink with friends, make sure you stay together. Don’t let a friend walk home alone and choose a safe route away from water.
Stay safe and look out for each other.

Stay together and away from water when drinking.
26% of people who accidentally drowned in 2022 had alcohol and/or drugs in their system.
If you see someone in trouble in the water, remember this lifesaving advice:
▶️ Call 999
▶️ Tell them to float on their back
▶️ Throw something to help them float

Rudolph knows that unfortunate bumps and knocks on roofs and lampposts can happen, so he makes sure to wait for Father Christmas to buckle up before every trip.
After clicking in, double check all your passengers are wearing their seatbelts before starting your journey.

Too good to be true? It probably is!
Unrealistically low prices or suspicious packaging are red flags for fakes. Protect your health and your wallet.

Switch off appliances at the socket when not in use!
This helps to reduce the risk of fire. Switch off appliances when you go to bed or when you go out unless they are designed to be left on, like freezers.

#ElectricalSafety#FireKills
Keep electrical appliances clean and in good working order!
Look out for fuses that blow, circuit-breakers that trip for no obvious reason and flickering lights to prevent appliances triggering a fire.
Regularly check for frayed or worn cables and wires.

When roads flood, it’s tempting to think you can make it through. But water hides dangers - missing manhole covers, debris, and strong currents.
Don’t drive into floodwater.
Find another route and report flooded roads.
Your safety comes first.

Don’t overload plug sockets!
An extension lead or adaptor will have a limit to how many amps it can take so, to help reduce the risk of fire, be careful not to overload them. Try to keep to one plug per socket.

Booked a summer getaway?
When you arrive, take a few minutes to think about how you’d find out a fire had started, get out safely, and if needed, put out fires with fire blankets or small extinguishers.
‼️Find out
‼️Get out
