Embarrassing bodies, gave a stark warning ofthe
consequences of having unprotected sex,assisted
with some rather gory pictures of the result.
Take this powerful message,change the images
to actual&equal images of work related injuries
and explain to the workforce at safety talks
presentations,etc.How this injury came to be.
Do you think this will change employees and
employers behaviour & attitude towards H&S
in the work place for the benefit of all
concerned?

They are a useful tool and can convince some, but if you have other bods with the "it'll never happen (to me)" attitude then it doesn't matter how well or how gory you paint the picture.
There is a wealth of "gory injury" pictures on the www.
Sometimes though you have to resort to the stick to achieve compliance.

Cheers Ron,
with the gory pictures and the actual
victim stood there addressing the audience on
how this injury came about, would this make
workers more aware of the dangers & consequences of not following procedures?
The last thing anybody wants is to get a nasty
injury either at work or not.
This might bring it home to the 'it wont
happen to me heads, before its to late.

Paul, your posts here are poetry. So much so, I've started reading them in the voice of Dylan Thomas. Powerful stuff.
For me the shock tactic is very shortlived and the ones who take most interest in training sessions are the weirdest people I've ever met.
I think this stuff can be useful but I don't like to be involved.

Hi Paul
The use of 'gory' pictures can have an effect on people's behaviour but I can remember some years ago a film about eye safety which was particularly gory and showed the surgical operation required to remove a piece of swarf from an eye. Brilliant for shocking but you invariably ended up with about 10% of the class at the end of the session as the other 90% had either fainted or being rather sick.
Take care
John C
