I am preparing a powerpoint presentation for teachers on "work experience for school pupils" and I am looking for some good pictures to put in to jazz the presentation up a little.

What I am looking for are either clip art, or preferably, photos of good examples of poor H&S. Also of work at height, power saws, guillotines etc. the type of things that are prohibited for the pupils.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have a look on the following web site. It has a lot of photos (mainly from abroad) of poor health and safety (some very graphic).
www.safteng.net/
Hope it's helpful.

I agree with Mr Newby. The Safteng site is very good for obtaining some images of poor H and S and I use some of these images in my training programmes. However do take note that some of the images available are extremely graphic and may cause some upset to some people. I advise you do not view the images in front of children and those of a weak disposition just incase you stumble across such an image.

Ian - the HSE recently published a FREE video on Work Experience - check their web page.

Thanks, the web site is pretty good.

The schools already have their free copy of the video, the HSE wouldn't give me a copy as "I'm not a school" even though I'm the authority's work experience person, and I wanted to preview the video before I told our schools to order it.

The presentation is to make the teachers more aware of the procedures that they have to follow and I was wanting to use "shock tactics" to try ensure that they do.

Ian,

I don't wish to tell you how to do your job but through my experience of Health and safety Training it has to be said that shock tactics have a very limited effect on the dissemination of knowledge etc. I tend to use near miss images and/or 'look how silly/dangerous these people are' to get the message across, in addition the injection of humour into the training session seems to be quite effective.

Should you wish I could email you some of the images I use (some of which are available on the Safteng site after a bit of a search).

Thanks Kev, if you could e-mail some of the pics, that would be great.

When I said that I was going to use shock tactics, it was more to keep the teachers awake and interested, as they seem to have a pretty short span of interest when it comes to H&S.

Of course, a sense of humour is a tool that I regularly use when delivering training, but it also seems that some of our teachers seem to have had a sense of humour bypass!

Will send some of the pics to you Ian.

As a person who is to be married in the summer to a Teacher I can concur that some teachers have indeed had a sense of humour bypass!!

Try this one, don't use the accident photos as they are a bit nasty. In shocker section there are some crackers of bad health and safety practice.
