With an estimated one million cases a year, food poisoning doesn’t stop over the festive season. Every year there are more than 500,000 cases of food poisoning. Not only are people eating more hot food to keep themselves warm, but they are also juggling entertaining family and friends with cooking impressive Christmas meals.
Here’s our top Christmas safety tips to help prevent your festivities being cut short:
- Give yourself enough time to prepare and cook Christmas dinner to avoid hot fat and gas stove accidents that come from rushing and keep anyone not helping with dinner out of the kitchen. Wipe up any spills quickly. We offer a basic Food Safety Awareness course which is aimed at anyone who requires induction training before starting to work with food, staff who are low-risk food handlers, and those who wish to update their food safety knowledge. We also offer 4 E-Learning food courses
- Falls are the most common accidents so try to keep clutter to a minimum. Make sure stairs are well-lit and free from obstacles, especially if you have guests
- Never cook whilst under the influence of alcohol.
- Keep children as far away from the oven and hob as possible.
- Never leave cooking unattended.
- Make sure the oven and hob is completely switched off before you leave the house or go to bed.
