I’m actually lucky to have never had to go through any sort of office safety meetings. Perhaps the offices in events have just been ahead of the curve when it comes to not walking into walls?
Either way, that curve is apparently quite low when you read some of these hilarious clippings below:
What has this world come to when we have signs warning us about signs?
Office safety is no laughing matter. Here at Corporate Events Management, when we’re not playing Russian roulette with 3 week old canapés , we're busy learning the "best practices" in the world of office safety. And Damn there is there a lot to learn; for example, did you know that you cannot run with Scissors?
Signs arent supposed to be funny, but do you think sign writers know this?
And if that wasn't enough safety for the day, I found this little beauty on the net from Paul G from his company's Health and Safety officer...

Subject: Please watch where you are going
Hi all,
We have had incidents of people walking into the first aid box
by the Performance and reporting team,
Please watch where you are walking.
To try to prevent injury to people walking into the first aid box
we have placed a plant next to it, yes that means that if you are
not watching where you are going you are going to have to deal
with the plant before you have to deal with the big metal box on
the wall.
If you still walk into the first aid box (after walking over the
plant) then please send a complaint to the Health and Safety
officers: ************, ******************* and
*********************.
If you are injured by not watching where you are going, then please
contact a first aider: *********************, ********************
and ********************************.
Thank you and regards,

Sometimes Fact is Funnier then Fiction!
Have a great Christmas season and remember no matter how hard it is, take a moment to laugh..because life is short and funny.
Like Danny DeVito ;-)
