Interesting and fun health and safety activities!

Hi
At the beginning of November I have to lead a health and safety training session for 20 volunteers on the basic information they need to be able to work safely.
The volunteers ages range from 16 - 35, they are of mixed ability and I understand that it is necessary to make it fun and interesting to keep their attention. The normal talk and chalk type of sessions is not in any way suitable. My idea is to set up 4 different activities that cover the very basics on which they can then work on as a team.
Does anyone have any type of activities like this set up or have any ideas or can direct me somewhere on the web where I can find some inspiration. I don't want to bore them!
Thanks

Marian, I do not have much time at the moment so cannot post weblinks. Have you looked on some of the education sites like teachernet or some of the stuff that is around for the upcoming euro safety week which is about young persons. HSE, ROSPA, IOSH links.
The reason for this sideways thought is that youngsters need to be kept engaged, especially on H&S, and you may be able to adapt some of the lesson plans from that source. Sorry I cannot do the direct links right now, maybe later. (not suggesting your team is juvenile by the way, it is the process that is good)

Thanks for the advice - I have had a quick look at the wise up work site, but will try the teachers angle.
The volunteers are working in a number of different areas landscaping, cafes, sea-life centre, offices. I will be giving them copies of the workbook that is included in the Wise up to Work packs from HSE for their mentors to work through with them, which will then enable them to get the right information for their locations.
Just looking for some fun way to get basic principles over
