Unless you saw these funny safety pictures, you would not believe what people do at work. Even with the pictures, you may think some were faked, but Will and Guy cannot see the joins!
Will and Guy's Selection of funny health and safety pictures and
funny tales.
A bus carrying five passengers was hit by a car in Boston,
Massachusetts, but by the time police arrived on the scene, fourteen
pedestrians had boarded the bus and had begun to complain of
whiplash injuries and back pain.
Safety is a major concern at the manufacturing company
where I work. So I'm constantly preaching caution to the workers I
supervise. 'Does anyone know,' I asked a few guys, 'what the speed
limit is in our parking lot?'
The long silence that followed
was interrupted when one of them piped up. 'That depends. Do you
mean coming to work or leaving?'
Safety Managers: persons who write a 10,000 word document
and call it a brief - Franz Kafka
What do you get if you put 100 Safety Managers in your
basement? - A whine cellar
Two workmen were digging foundations when one of them
started shouting and jumping about . The other one thought his
partner had hit an underground power cable and was being
electrocuted so following good health and safety practice used a
shovel to separate him from the electricity.
Luckily for the
first worker he wasn't getting an electric shock but was panicking
after a wasp had flown up his trousers. Luckily he didn't get stung
but the second worker hit him so hard with the shovel that his
shoulder was dislocated.
Sometimes humorous safety signs work.
A police 'safety officer' was visiting a primary school in
a particularly rough area of Manchester, England.
'Why
shouldn't you touch the oven door or the kettle?' he asked the
assembled class.
A young girls hand shot into the air.
'Because you might leave fingerprints,' she answered.
A crowd gathered around at a woodworking trade show held
at Fort Purbrook, Portsmouth and were watching a sales
demonstration.
The demonstrator had an ordinary saw next to
another which had a saw stopping safety device. He showed how each
might work when it hit an operator's finger.
For simulation
purposes he used a sausage as a substitute. Intrigued, a curious
spectator stepped up for a closer look and was struck in the eye by
a flying piece of debris.
John Cleese was one of the funniest men of the 1960s. I was pleasantly
surprised to see him in funny safety pictures and videos. While he does
not feature in any of these pictures, the spirit of Cleese lives on there comic
situations.
Humour makes the point so much more forcibly than a dead-pan delivery of the
plain facts.
Making presentations in PowerPoint is satisfying, moreover, it's easy to get
started.
The PowerPoint program is intuitive to learn and easy to create your own PPT
slides and build them into a slide show. If you have
Microsoft Office you may find that you already have PowerPoint along with Word
and Excel.
One way to begin is simply to open any example presentation. Just
download one of our free PPT files and open it with PowerPoint. As you
examine the slides, so it will become obvious how to add pictures and titles, if
you do get stuck, ask the wonderful built-in 'Help'. To make a funny slide show requires these skills;
Imagination - Think of an funny idea, then build a themed slide set
Artistic - An eye for a good picture
Wordsmith - Choose a catchy title for each slide
Humour - Your viewers will appreciate a funny PowerPoint Presentation
PowerPoint mechanics - Actually, this is the easiest skill of them all, the
program is so intuitive.
Good luck with creating your funny PowerPoint Presentation
