Google was my friend nah nah nah nah nah!

Here are a few examples of one of the links.

Try typing in "examples of horseplay" as i did.

1.Screwing a co-workers tool-belt to the floor while it is left un-attended. The victim could strain or tear muscles when trying to pick it up.
2.Tossing a heavy object to a co-worker. The victim suffers an injury while trying to catch it.
3.Purposely startling a co-worker on a scaffold or ladder. The victim falls off the ladder or scaffold resulting in serious injury or death.
4.Tinkering with a co-workers power-tools. The victim gets a shock worse than intended and receives permanent brain damage.
5.Smearing a substance on a co-workers safety glasses or in their hard-hat. The victim starts work without this critical personal protective equipment and is injured as a result of not wearing it.

Hope these help.

Good luck.

Hi lewes,
Iv got a cracker for yi,this ones for real Iv had it done.

senario aboard an Off-shore Installation...scaffolder erection a hanging scaffold on the end of the flare boom, he is standing on a T-peice (butt) at the bottom of a 21 foot scaffolding tube.the top of the tube is secured to the steel work (boom). his fellow scaffolder secures a scaffold coupler (a cheque fitting) 1/2 an inch above the tube that his mate is standing on then loosens the coupler that is securing the 21 feet tube that he is standing on.
the out come... the tube falls 1/2 an inch,but is held by the cheque coupler...you only drop 1/2 an inch...but it disni half put the wind up yi...and I can testify to that...
