Monthly See Care Share Safety Update
Here you can find our Monthly See Care Share Updates. Each month we will have several topics which you can share with your teams along with the supporting Safety Conversation. These will be based on the incident trends, time of the year and any updates to policies or procedures.
Please ensure that you display these on the appropriate notice boards within your unit and record the communication of the Safety Conversation on the relevant training record cards. You can find more Safety Conversations on the dedicated page of the HSE Website.
April 2025
In the April edition of the See Care Share Update we are putting a focus on Allergen Management, this remains our number one risk in our food service locations, so it is important our teams are trained and management are monitoring and checking every day. In terms of safety, we have seen a number of incidents where fires have been caused due to team members leaving cooking or hot food service equipment switched on when no in use, so please ensure it is always off, the below Safety Share can be used to remind people what to do. Our take home safety this month encourages you, your families and loved ones to ensure they are using a suitable and safe phone charger, we all use them, but if faulty or damaged they can cause fires and electrical issues, so check your charger is safe now.

March 2025
In the March edition of the See Care Share Update we are putting a focus on pro-active reporting to prevent injuries, by ensuring our teams understand the difference between a hazard observation and a Near Miss. In terms of reducing incidents, we have seen an increase in cut related injuries, not just from knife cuts, so our Safety Conversation this month is on Preventing Cut Injuries, please ensure you take your teams through the Safety Conversation and that the sign off on the group training record. Our take home safety this month links into Sleep Awareness Week in March and World Sleep Day on 15th March, where we are encouraging people to ensure they are getting sufficient sleep to reduce the risk of tiredness in the workplace and increased risk of incidents.

February 2025
In the February edition of the See Care Share Update we have an update on the mandatory HSE Training including some new courses that must be completed and will ensure all of our team members have the knowledge and competencies to keep everyone safe.
We are focusing on hot beverage service this month, both from an allergen perspective and a safety perspective. We have a new process in place for the service of hot beverages where milk or milk alternatives are used, and this must be communicated to your teams using the new Food Safety Conversation below. This will ensure we are managing allergens and our customers are not put at risk. We also have an updated customer facing poster to ensure lids are put on hot drinks when being transported around our units. Please ensure all team members involved in hot beverage service are trained and the below training record card is signed off as required.
Our take home safety this month links into Time to Talk Day, which is on 6th February 2025, where we are encouraging people to open up and talk honestly about mental health, there are links to the Time to Talk website and a QR Code to access the You Matter materials, please share this with family, friends and loved ones. Talking more about mental health and removing the stigma could save lives.

Our Safety Conversation this month is also related to Safe Use of Chemicals and in addition to the conversation we have some reminder and awareness posters to display in your unit to ensure chemicals are used safely.
