Health & Safety Challenge

A Christmas cracker ?

Nope

leggos?

A Christmas pudding....

...from a manufacturer who has a newly qualified Health & Safety manager ?

NO, I got that wrong... you're talking about your Christmas tree, aren't you Graeme ?

Good guesses but - No, no and no.

Just barking mad, Graeme. You may receive many but keep none!

Is that a guess Tony?

Are they Xmas Cards?

Correct! Plain, ordinary Christmas card.

I'm surprised my kids made it through yesterday alive!

I'm always amused by childrens medicines whose instructions caution against driving as they may cause drowsiness!

Richard

LOL.  Glad you all survived .  I hope I have not spoilt it for everybody else. Perhaps we'll get a few more

dodgy H&S gone mad stories from other members.

Enjoy the rest of the festivities, Graeme.

It always amuses me to see writ large on a takeaway cup of tea, 'caution - contents hot'. I'd be seriously miffed if they weren't.

My favourite was on a packet of salted peanuts I bought in a pub a few years ago which on the reverse carried the warning: may contain nuts.  Only "may", mind you!

I have a potentially fatal nut allergy, and if it I avoided everything that said it may contain nuts I'd be dead from starvation. I'm sure I've bought milk that says something along the lines of 'contains milk'. 

That must be a worry HH but I'm guessing you're plenty smart enough to avoid buying and eating peanuts without the dubious benefit of such warnings on the packets containing them

.    

If the peanuts didn't have the warning, I may well eat them. So I'm grateful to those health and safety professionals who worry about my welfare.

Bush lawyers in corporations are seriously invested in making senior executives so paranoid about frivilous lawsuits that they can't help but simply approve every ludicrous warning. The lawyers themselves know these things are exceedingly rare, yet thay have created an industry that they grow fat on. Insurance companies are complicit.

"But what if something "happened"?". Best thing is just to laugh.

Please, don't get me started Tony!

Jason.

Does anyone have stats on the number of epilepsy sufferers who have been affected by flash photography bulletins on the news? Every bulletin now carries a warning it seems and, whilst I have every sympathy with those with the condition, I do wonder if it has gone a bit OTT?

i know i've posted this before but..........................

.......it probably looks better on flickr

Our champagne bottle on Christmas day had a sticker saying "Do not microwave".

Quite right too Mark. The world needs warning of the dangers of warm champagne. And perversely I bet no mention of not driving because it may cause drowsiness.

Andy

Presumably other forms of wrestling are OK?

Brilliant,
