No Humbug on Safety: Santa’s Workplace Hazards
With Santa’s crew preparing for the big night ahead, it’s essential to take all necessary precautions to ensure a safe and non-hazardous journey.

Who’s at Risk?
While it’s true that some occupations carry greater risk for workplace hazard concerns than others, the truth is that virtually anyone who has a job, including St. Nick himself, can get injured at work. The leading cause of workplace injuries is the failure to identify hazards that are present or could have been anticipated. Having a consistent, proactive process to identify and assess such risks is essential to any adequate safety and health program.
