Right it's almost Friday

I have the IT department carrying out a presentation for our behavioural safety programme. (Good dodge on my part)

They are after silly Christmas statistics to liven up other an otherwise dull presentation (they are IT :) )

Please provide stats such as number of people who have died chocking on a sprout etc etc. as google let us down

I was also hoping for some help with our weekly bulleting (Basically an a4 poster of safety info)
I want to add some sort of Christmas quiz. I was thinking of something like the Chemistry Suduko (Chem elements instead of numbers)

Ideas on a postcard (Well A4 sized poster :) ) please

Thanks all

Good site to visit is RoSPA, under resources you will see a section for statistics. Did you know in 2002 205 males were attended casualty for accidents involving a toilet seat (the number is about even higher for toilet roll holder accidents)

I forget where these came from (so the figures may be wrong now!), but they still have entertainment value!!!

• 3 Brits die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.
• 142 Brits were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new shirts.
• 58 Brits are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers.
• 31 Brits have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.
• 19 Brits have died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas decorations were chocolate.
• British Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cracker pulling accidents.
• 101 people since 1999 have had broken parts of plastic toys pulled out of the soles of their feet.
• 18 Brits had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth.
• A massive 543 Brits were admitted to A&E in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth.
• 5 Brits were injured last year in accidents involving out of control Scalextric cars.
• In 2000 eight Brits cracked their skull whilst throwing up into the toilet.
