Christmas is upon us once again and with all of the excitement and festivities that this time of year brings, it is easy to forget about health and safety.

This is when accidents can occur, so it is important to take extra care, both in and out of work.

With plummeting temperatures and the shorter days we are experiencing, it is safe to say that Winter is well and truly here. With common colds and viruses circulating this time of year, it is important to ensure you wear extra layers to keep warm during the colder months.

Great TV Can pick us up during the cold and dark winter months. The return of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here this Sunday at 9pm has got us all looking forward to parachuting into the Australian jungle with this year’s campmates (all from the comfort of our own living room of course).

Some of us will have looked forward to this all year as for some reason, witnessing a group of celebrities tremble with fear as they are tormented with bugs, snakes and other critters as they complete bushtucker trials is guaranteed to brighten up our evenings. 

Now that the clocks have gone back, we are experiencing much shorter days. During the winter months, it can get dark as early as 4pm.

For the most part, it is often dark when we leave in the morning and also when we get home in the evenings. This can result in some people experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). SAD can be described as feelings of depression during the colder, winter months.
