The Most Ridiculous Health And Safety Myths Illustrated By “Vibrant Doors” (8 Pics)

Why would they think the FIRE EXTINGUISHER is a safety risk???

Door mats?

Why.....just why

im glad our president bolsonaro cant read in english.

Uhhh.. it's titled "Health and Safety Myths" and at the bottom it says "Myth Busted" - I think these posters are being grossly misinterpreted.

I want that lightbulb.

And I thought falling off the ladder was the problem!

Surely this is one we can all agree on.

Sounds like some electricians wanted more $$$

When I about 9 years old, a painting fell off the wall, I looked up and protected myself with my hands from the painting. However it turned out that they paining had pulled the nail out of the wall which...landed in my eye! Fortunately it did not go into my eye ball, just scraped past it and entered the eye socket. The surgery was difficult to say the least, but there was no lasting damage. I would say that bad DIY is a health and safety issue, not hanging pictures.

Idk because I grew up in the San Francisco bay area and we never had shelves or heavy frames hung above our beds because of earthquakes... especially after the big quake in 1986 (during the World Series Giants v. A's)

I would be so tempted to draw pictures on the wall.

The person hit by this painting tho.....hilarious!

If you are afraid the LAMPOST will fall... …remove/ replace the LAMPPOST

So the town thought that their lamp posts were getting old and dangerous, and took action to prevent injuries? Yeah, let's all line up to laugh at them for doing the right thing.

Hanging a basket for what offence? Just probation if a leaf falls but doesn't hit anyone?

So many councils in the UK have attempted this sort of thing.

Bit of context? Early 2000s a rash of putting burning fireworks and dog poo in letterboxes on some UK council estates. The advice was (and anyway should be) that it's a letter "box", not a slit in the door but a closed box --- fireworks won't burn house down, burglars can't have a good look at the insides, etc. So general advice sealed towards the house not the outside... Not sure that (alleged) association misunderstood, or or printed confusing-but-well-meant advice.

Because we all know windows will stop everything including firebombs

That's how the Covid gets in

As 80% of my mail is utter s h i t e anyway, it would cut down on paper waste!

health and safety REASONS. Okay, got it. REASONS.

Isn't having snow and ice on more dangerous lol??

What they actually meant : "Do not do it yourself, I decide it is forbidden... So you have to pay me to do it."

ummm thats just dumb

Wait until snow melts then remember to wear your rain boots, Love Mommy

Myth busted, busted: it's dangerous because it can cause heart attacks if you're not so used to all that activity

I'm here as living proof that this is not a myth. It's very unhealthy to work after 5 PM or before 11 AM. I have always followed the rule very carefully and took my breaks at 12, 2, and 4.

Is his neck alright?

yt clickbait: DO NOT install satelite dish at 3AM *not fake* *ALMOST DIED*

Why is there a fold in the middle?

Many companies rightly do not let their site workers carry on after 5pm for health and safety reasons. The engineer might have to travel an hour or two to return to the depot, then another hour home. Six hours of travel on top of an 8 hour day equates to 14 on the go. Tiredness kills.
