    Firms urged to ban mistletoe By Oliver Poole, Telegraph.co.uk, UK
    Guidelines urging employers to think carefully about holding a Christmas party in case it resulted in them being sued were condemned yesterday as 'using a sledgehammer to crack a nut'.

    The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents and the TUC issued the advice, which included banning mistletoe in case it resulted in sexual harassment claims.

    It also said workers should be instructed not to photocopy parts of their body in case the machine broke and glass caused painful injuries.
