🎃👻 FACT FRIDAY 👻🎃

🍬 TRICK OR TREAT... BUT WHICH SWEETS ARE A CHOKING RISK?

Which of these could be particularly risky for young children? 👀

🍭 Hard-boiled sweets
🍬 Chewy sweets
🍿 Popcorn
🔴 Round sweets

🎃 The answer... ALL OF THEM!

Small, hard, sticky or round foods can be choking hazards for young children, making Halloween treats something to keep an extra eye on. 👀

🍬 Always supervise younger children while they're eating and choose treats appropriate for their age.

👻 And would you know what to do if someone started choking?

🧠 WOULD YOU SPOT A STROKE?

Most people know about a drooping face or weak arm... but there are other warning signs too. 👀

🤕 A sudden severe headache
🚶 Dizziness or loss of balance

⏱️ When it comes to a stroke, every minute matters.

Remember FAST:
🙂 Face
💪 Arms
🗣️ Speech
📞 Time to call 999

🔥 QUICK QUESTION...

You burn your hand while cooking. What’s the first thing you reach for?

🧊 Ice?
🧴 Burn cream?
💧 Running water?

If you picked water, you got it! 🙌

A burn should be cooled under cool or lukewarm running water for at least 20 minutes.

❌ No ice
❌ No butter
❌ No creams

💡 And here's the surprising bit: cooling can still be beneficial for up to 3 hours after the burn happens!

Did you know that one? 👀

🚑✨ FACT FRIDAY ✨🚑

💡 Did you know?

Shivering can actually stop when someone becomes severely hypothermic. 🥶

It doesn’t necessarily mean they’re getting warmer. It can be a warning that their condition is becoming more serious.

Other signs can include:
🗣️ Slurred speech
😕 Confusion
😴 Drowsiness
🫁 Slow breathing

With colder weather approaching, knowing the signs could make all the difference.

🚑✨ FACT FRIDAY ✨🚑

💡 Did you know?

You should lean forward during a nosebleed — not backwards! 👃🩸

Leaning back can cause blood to run down the throat and may make you feel sick.

Instead:
➡️ Sit down and lean forward
🤏 Pinch the soft part of the nose
⏱️ Hold continuously for 10–15 minutes
👄 Breathe through your mouth

Sometimes the first aid we grew up with isn't the right first aid!

🚑✨ FACT FRIDAY ✨🚑

💡 Did you know?

You should never put anything in someone's mouth during a seizure.

Despite the old myth, a person cannot swallow their tongue — and putting objects or fingers in their mouth could cause injury.

Instead:
🛡️ Protect them from injury
⏱️ Time the seizure
🧥 Cushion their head
🚫 Don't restrain them

Knowing what NOT to do can be just as important as knowing what to do.

🦺✨ FACT FRIDAY ✨🦺

💡 Did you know?

Slips, trips and falls on the same level are the most common cause of non-fatal workplace injuries in Great Britain.

And often, the cause is something simple:

💧 A wet floor
📦 Cluttered walkways
🔌 Trailing cables
⚠️ Unreported hazards

Small hazards can have big consequences.

👀 See it. Report it. Sort it.

🦺✨ FACT FRIDAY ✨🦺

💡 Did you know?

🔔 A near miss is a warning! Not a lucky escape to forget about 🔔

A near miss is an incident where nobody was injured and nothing was damaged, but where things could easily have ended differently.

Think:
📦 A heavy box falling and narrowly missing someone
💧 Slipping on a wet floor but catching yourself
🔧 Equipment failing without causing an injury
🚧 A vehicle almost colliding with a pedestrian

Reporting near misses gives businesses the opportunity to identify hazards and take action BEFORE someone gets hurt.

💡 No injury doesn't mean no risk.

Creating a workplace where people feel confident reporting hazards and near misses is an important part of building a positive safety culture.

📚 Our IOSH Managing Safely® course helps managers and supervisors understand risks, responsibilities and practical workplace safety.

World Su***de Prevention Day

Sometimes the people who are struggling the most are the ones who seem like they’re coping.

Today is a reminder to check in, listen without judgement, and take mental health seriously at work, at home, and in our communities.

A simple conversation can make a real difference.

If you’re worried about someone, don’t ignore that feeling. Ask how they are, give them time to talk, and help them reach support.

At Excel, we believe training and awareness can help people feel more confident supporting others when it matters most.

You are never a burden. Help is always available.

💚 Check in
💚 Listen
💚 Stay with them
💚 Encourage support
