OMG Don’t walk on fish!!!! lol

I think that was fairyarmadillo's favorite, too. Or at least the one she found the cutest.

It is nice that there are some universal themes in my field. It is sad that some of these posters predate OSHA and the Soviets beat us to it. The historical record rather shows that they ignored these signs though.

Do you guys still get OMG TERROR posters or all they just walls of text now?

If the only tool you have is a hammer, then every problem looks like a person's head...

I gotta say those ads are great. As an Aussie health and safety officer, it's far more thought provoking than anything we've seen over here. We certainly get graphic images in advertising for safety, but not clips like this.

Only thing though, once you've seen them the 'novelty' wears off. We've found you need to keep reinforcing safety in a variety of ways (make them think outside the box and about themsleves)

Amen. I'm tired of safety standards being wall-of-text posters hastily tacked-up in the corner of break rooms.

That...was like cyanide-laced candy for my brain.
