Un-safety humor

J-sews · **on:** March 05, 2007, 02:30:52 AM

As a member of the Safety Committee at the shop where I work, we collect funny/not-so-funny safety pictures. When you've bored everyone to sleep during a shop-wide safety meeting slide show, it helps to have something every now and then to wake folks up.

I thought you guys might enjoy a few of these. (And I pray that nothing like this ever happens to any of us!)

There's one like that with two guys in full biohazard gear looking at something, and some other guy right behind them with like shorts and a tshirt on.

That motorcycle/car crash must have hurt...

Hah! Yes, I've seen that one! Funny. I may still have it around here somewhere......

Ha-ha! That's a classic! It looks like that guy is trying out for a Darwin award.

Hey.......is he welding next to the gas tank?!!

Okay, I've got a ton of these things. Here's a few more:

Dang, I HATE IT when that happens!

That forklift one has to be the funniest thing I have seen in a long time!

It reminds me of this plant where I used to work security. We had to escort an employee off site after he was fired. It seems he was "just trying to get the boss' attention" by tapping the second floor shipping office window with a forklift. For thos unfamiliar with forklifts, they simply don't "tap" anything. Guy was lucky that none of the shattered plate glass came down on him.

..And I thought riding pallet jacks like big skateboards was dangerous!

Busting the bosses glass window is definately grounds for dismissal...

Well, this guy had a penchant for doing stupid things and this was just the icing on the cake. The shift supervisor kept him around because he figured the kid would grow out of it.

Oh yeah! That is great fun! We used to have races down the aisles on night shift.....until the foreman heard about it!

The thought processes of some people are completley unfathomable. Riding stuff around warehouses seems to be the done thing though, where i used to work there were overhead rails to move clothes around and the shuttles used on it were great for hanging on and going down aisles!

The restaurant I used to work at as a teenager had all hardwood floors. The kitchen area needed to me completely mopped after every shift, of course, in order to clean up the grease splatter and spilled food and such. Several of us cooks and dishwashers would slather the entire floor with hot soapy water, then let it soak for a few moments.

While waiting, we would start off out in the storage room, then run full speed into the kitchen. As soon as we hit the wet, soapy, slippery kitchen floor, we would begin "skating." The idea was to see how far a person could remain standing upright before falling. Or before crashing into the oven, or the refridgerators, or the racks of dishes, etc. It was great fun!

Looking back, I'm somewhat surprised that I made it into my twenties with no broken bones!

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #13 on:** March 11, 2007, 03:19:54 PM

Well you had me beat... by the time I hit my twenties I had completely buggered up a knee and had almost as much scar tissue as regular skin!

Then in my twenties I started working security and really started to get banged up!

Those are some really cool pics. I wish I had the pictures of the truck that my friend was driving on an archaeological project in Kentucky last year. The truck was sideways on 2 wheels on a hillside. It was a priceless photo but also one that had to disappear.

Sounds to me like that picture would be an excellent bit of blackmail material!

Here's a few more un-safety pictures. Improperly loaded vehicles seem to be the common theme.....

I hope a strong breeze doesn't come up!

This guy probably has a shower of sparks coming out behind him.....

Why make TWO trips, when you can get it all moved at once?

I wouldn't want to be following this genius down the highway.....

Who needs a truck?

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #17 on:** March 17, 2007, 03:53:43 AM

I think I would have to pass that last guy on the right hand side. That's only a minor infraction compared to having a door wide open with crap sticking out. I could use some work done on my car, and better is someone else (or their insurance company!) is paying for it!

I can't think of a caption that tells the story as well as the picture does!

What happened to that plane? Would a prop from another plane do that?

Pictures of some folks who had "parking issues."

Who the hell put that railing there?

I got this one from Def. There was a cute story that went with it.

Okay, let's hear the cute story. I'm almost in tears looking at that sweet Ferrari.
