The real reason I'm posting this here is that I wonder if anyone has any new subjects for me to
cover? I've done packaging injuries, speeding, smoke alarms, CO alarms, PPE in the garden and RCD
use with lawn mowers as well as this lot. Any ideas?

What, nothing on cycling?

There's only me that bikes to work, so it will be of no use to anyone else.

In that case, how about a safety vid on the hazards associated with *not* cycling ;-)

Well, there are more than enough corpulent people at work to have a go at. Although, having a go at
them would only incur their wrath and it's bad enough when they're not gunning for you without
going out of your way to make enemies!

It's hardly mass market is it? C'mon there must be some new subjects, or I'm going to be left with
marginal stuff like taking care not to entangle your fishing rod and kite in overhead power lines.
I'll give full due credit in the video. Simon

Hi Simon

Your "What happens when you leave hot oil on a cooker." made me giggle. Several years' ago I had an
AICPF - alcohol induced chip pan fire - which almost, but not quite, set fire to my kitcken.

Fortunately (or not), a few days before the AICPF, I'd bought a safety blanket from a travelling
salesman. Made me think of Linus.

So, on seeing loadsa flames doing their best to ignite my kitchen, I lobbed the safety blanket onto
the conflagration.

It melted. It added its material to the already present combustibles. I opened by back door, turned
on my outside tap and drenched my pan with cold water.

It wasn't pretty but my fire was extinguished.

Aye!.

Circular saws. Make sure the blade is stationary before you put it down, otherwise (because of the
direction the blade runs), if the guard doesn't close properly it propels itself straight at you,
probably up your leg and towards things that are best not tangling with circular saws.

On which topic, I knew a bloke that split open his scrotum with the end of a water-ski while on his
honeymoon. That's best avoided too.

It's true that terrible things happen on most honeymoons.

If its a mass market it can hardly be dangerous enough to warrant a 'safety video'. Be careful of
slipping on the soap in the bath might seem like a mass appeal video -- but how many fatalities
would it save -- even if everyone saw and acted on it?

If you like -- just do chainsaw juggling -- that sounds dangerous enough on its own and would appeal
to non unicyling chainsaw jugglers -- who are, one might presume, the majority.

Ow, ow, ow!

My wife tells another water skiing related tale. Apparently some bloke was bare foot water skiing
when he saw some girls sunbathing on the beach. He thought he'd show off and went out of the
recommended area and skied close to the shore, waving and smiling at them. Now, the reason there was
a "recommended area" was that the shore had a few remaining wooden pilings from the old jetty, all
slowly rotting away to nothing. Guess what? Yep,
Mr. Posy Water Skier went, WHACK! right into one. Ended up in hospital getting lots of long rotten
splinters plucked from his perineum. He still thought he was God's gift, which didn't impress
the nurses. But of course they took not the slightest bit of joy from changing his dressings in
a very undignifying fashion (for him) and causing loads of pain when they ripped the tape off,
no, not caring nurses, never ;-)

Have (splinter free) fun!

Thanks Jim. I've done CO but stress is a good one. Simon

Yes, mine was inspired by a similar event that happened to a colleague of mine. I had to create the
flames in the pan by reversing the colours of a towel. If I'd had a real fire all the H+S people at
work would have had a field day. /whining voice - "who was filming when you were driving?/ Simon

You should never add water to hot oil - you'll get a terrific explosion. You could have removed
it from the heat source and smothered it with a damp, but not wet towel. Then left it for an
hour. Simon

Still OT, but the other thing you shouldn't do is chuck the hot oil out the back door, since it's
close to flashpoint. I know someone who has an impressive history of plastic surgery and some
frightful scarring as a result of trying this.

Microwave and oven chips are safer.

You'd be surprised. At our place you have to ring the ambulance if you get an eyelash in your eye,
which takes you to the medical centre and it is recorded as an injury- and that's not a joke.

We are encouraged to take the concept of zero accidents home and beyond, so although tripping over a
paving stone might seem daft, they take that sort of thing very seriously and these videos get me a
bit of kudos come bonus time :-)

Many more people suffer serious head injuries as a result of slipping when getting in and out of the
bath than as a result of cycling accidents. The bathroom is a slippy place with lots of nasty hard
projections. A rational helmet-on-bikes campaigner would already be wearing his helmet in the bath,
and while going domn stairs (another more-dangerous-than-cycling activity). But I guess people are
sufficiently irrational about these risks to the resources of the National Health Service that the
Govt will just have to legislate bath and staircase helmets.
