Does anyone know where I might purchase or find a copy of the old Public Information Film, containing the following verse?
BE SAFE AT WORK
Public Information (1970s)
Sir Isaac Newton told us why
An apple falls down from the sky
And from this fact, it's very plain,
All other objects do the same
A brick, a bolt, a bar, a cup,
Invariably fall down, not up
And every common working tool
Is governed by the self-same rule
So when you handle tools up there,
Let your watchword be, "Take Care!"
If at work, you drop a spanner,
It travels in a downward manner
At work, a fifth of accidents or more,
Illustrate old Newton's law
But one thing he forgot to add,
The damage won't be half as bad
If you are wearing proper clothes,
Especially on your head and toes
These hats and shoes are there to save
The wearer from an early grave
So best feet forward and take care
About the kind of shoes you wear
It's better to be sure, than dead,
So get a hat and keep your head
Don't think to go without is brave;
The effects of gravity can be grave.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Frank

bluewater,
not sure if this helps but the BFI ( British Film Institute ) have a lot of these little films. Some on line I think. Might be worth dropping them a mail?
