Safety first at open days OPEN days are being held with free advice about health and safety, fire safety and first aid training.

The Sirius Business Services Health and Safety Open Day is being held at its offices in Lynch Lane today and tomorrow.

The sessions will give representatives the chance to obtain free advice but also try out first-hand practical parts of training.

This includes using various different types of fire extinguisher on live fires and the importance of selecting the correct extinguishers.

There will be demonstrations of resuscitation and the chance to have a go as well as information about how a defibrillator works.

First aid will also be covered, such as how to deal with such incidents as burns, shock and heart attacks.

Advisors will also explain the legal requirements for all businesses to undertake fire risk assessments, what this involves and how to get help.
