We seem to have lost the rather lighthearted Friday feeling thread...
With the following in mind....can we not cheer ourselves up for a safety and happy weekend...
GB - safest workplace in EU?
The latest fatal accident statistics just published indicate that amongst the 5 largest EU countries, Great Britain has had the lowest fatal injury rate over a 5-year period.
Although I'm sure we would all agree that we still have lots of work left to do...We have been working on some 'funny' signs to improve attitudes (Danger live children!) anyone any more examples or relevant jokes?

28 minutes to pounce? They're slipping.

Oh dear. After this mornings tribulations I could do with a laugh.
Anyway, I plagiarised another post and have a sign pinned to my desk which reads: 'The reporting of unsafe acts and conditions is everyone's responsibility - report it now, or the kitten gets it! Underneath the wording is a picture of the cutest kitten you have ever seen...next to a microwave!
Before anyone complains, it's a joke and I am an animal lover - after this morning's charade I prefer them to humans.

Apropros nothing in particular, watching one of the interminable re-runs of "Star Trek the Next Generation" last night brought a wee smile to my face.
Lt. Cdr. Data, in temporary command of the Enterprise (D) ordered that a Klingon Shuttlecraft be brought aboard for a "Health & Safety Inspection"!
Nice to know we have a role to play in the 24th Century.
I always said I was in this for the long-run!
A prize (of Trekkie Kudos) to the afficionado who can name that Episode!

Ron I don’t agree with the STTNG having a health and safety role, how many times have they beamed down to some disaster zone either on a planet or space ship and not one piece of PPE visible! No wonder why the ships doctor is so busy;-)

Kudos to you Peter Zunda!
Paul, in all fairness, the extensive sensor sweeps,atmospheric sampling and verification of Class "M" atmsopshere are all designed to protect the away Team and preclude any need for PPE.They have been known to "suit up" where necessary. Of course, in the unlikely event they did contract something nasty this could be effectively filtered on beam-out by a narrowing of the angular confinement beam and a quantum phase-shift of the Heisenberg compensators? Surprised you didn't consider that really. Then again, these precautions would be virtually useless against interphasic parasites - wouldn't they Peter?
I'll get my cloak(ing device).

Now that's the Friday feeling !
I wish I could join in the STNNG conversation but I'm still fixated on Uhuru.
Speaking, as we were, of science fiction, who says it's all rubbish ? I'm just re-reading a book publshed in 1993 which puts many of GB's current, "turn of the century" ills down to the "People's Socialism Party", the Warming, and the Credit Crash.
And H&S still gets a kicking;

You're all nuts, in the words of the great Homer(Simpson).
Merv - am I right in thinking that the actor who played Uhura(? sorry if the spelling is incorrect) went ultimately to work for NASA to front their public relations - to be the face of the company?

Funny how you could almost guarantee the death or injury of one of the 'red shirts' in Star Trek, almost a Private Fraiser moment - "We're doomed!"

Uhura was played by Nichelle Nichols, who later went on to work for NASA to help recruit female staff to the agency.

Sad, sad and very sad, Star trek must be one of the worst programmes ever.

...Indeed Swis.
Which is why I now have to bring this thread to a close; it is the only logical outcome given AUG 1.
Live long and prosper.
