Hello all,

I would appreciate it if somebody could point me to a place where I can obtain photographs of various injuries. I am currently designing a new employee induction program and I would like to be able to show people up front the reality of what can happen when safety procedures are not followed.

Thanks,
Jonathan McCoy

Why not contact Safety Media in Rhyl, North Wales. They publish a video called 'Horrific Accidents - The Facts'. The video is very graphic and should be used with care. I hope this helps.

Be wary of using gory images. It can seriously put people off.

Make sure you infom them that some images to be seen are graphically horrific.
Otherwise someone may faint, fall and injure themselves.
Another compensation pay-out !

Yes lads, I think that would be prudent. Also it is a good idea to take into account the fact that some of these people or their loved ones may have suffered these injuries.

Try:

http://www.trauma.org/imagebank/imagebank.html

Do not look if you are fainthearted, these images are used for serious medical training of paramedics, EMTs and doctors and some of them are liable to shock. I have used them myself both in a health and safety and medical training context and they are effective.

John..
Bl**dy hell!. Well there is no better encouragement to carry out a full days work in selling Health and Safety after looking at that site!

Couldn't help curl my toes looking at a few of the images. Still great site and I will be using a few of the images when training... having made sure there are a few 'spit kids' (I am Navy!) around for the audience in case of stomach failure...

Cheers John

They are from around the world....Australia and the US are the largest donors.....it is also a good site to send any that you may have for sharing with other like minded professionals....

This site also has some periodic good ones.....http://www.safetycenter.navy.mil/photo/archive/default.htm

Hope they help..............Glenn
