Posted By Diane Thomason Following a link from the oshnet/humor site posted above, I got to http://www.baddesigns.com/examples.html which is on the list as something like "bad ergonomics". Some of the examples are classic examples of really bad ergonomic design, but looking at others I can't help thinking that the person who posted them must be a bit thick!

Posted By Hilary Charlton Thanks for your responses, please keep them coming. Diane, have checked out the bad designs, some of the people who have submitted these must be incredibly thick and you feel a burning need to tell them to 'go and get a life' don't you? Hilary

Posted By Zoe Barnett Hello Hilary, you could also try www.forteantimes.co.uk - it's the site of the magazine of the same name and isn't a dedicated safety site. However, it is full of the bizarre ways people have managed to kill or injure themselves, which make good reading in a newsletter whilst still making a safety point. The site's also good for debunking urban myths, like the old "contact lens melting onto the cornea" routine. Excellent for whiling away a dull moment and amazing your colleagues with little known facts. It's also full of UFOs, ghosts and alien big cats - could you ask for more?!

Posted By Paul Craythorne Hilary, I have e-mailed you direct on this one. Regards, Paul Craythorne
