December is one of our busiest periods of the year, at work and at home. There is more traffic on the roads, more people shopping, more waste and recycling and the list goes on. History tells us it’s also a time where more accidents happen. At WSG we want everyone spending the holiday season safe with their loved ones. Therefore, we ask you all to join our Home Safe Commitment in December. Below are six commitments that we’d like you to review and know. In December, start your day committing to those that are most relevant to the day ahead, and work on them actively until you are home safe.

PRIORITISE! Be clear on what your teams will and won’t do.
TALK to your teams about putting safety first.
CHECK IN on team members regularly.
