World Cup- Celebrating Safely June 2006

World Cup 2006 - Celebrating Safely

  As most people will now be well aware, the England football squad are competing in the World Cup in Germany this summer and expectations are high for a successful run in the competition, at least to the knockout stages and hopefully to the final itself.

Whilst the vast majority of the public will celebrate – or commiserate – the World Cup safely and responsibly, North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service wish to take this opportunity to remind people of how to look after themselves, friends, family and customers, with the following safety tips.

North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service Safety Reminders for the World Cup
Holding Parties At Home
·         Ensure everyone has a safe way of getting home – before they have a drink
·         Do not let young people walk home alone – especially young women
·         Make sure young people do not go over the top with drink – many young people do not know a sensible limit and will be influenced by older drinkers
·         Always have a good selection of non-alcoholic drinks available for anyone having to drive
·         Keep a couple of phone numbers of reliable taxi firms handy for those who change their plans
·         Prepare cooked food before you start drinking – Never Drink and Fry
·         Best of all – only have cold snacks or take-away food
·         Don’t use candles at a party where people are drinking – save them for romantic nights with your partner – or to get rid of the smells the next day
