Health & Safety Week (19-23 June)
Day Five: Mythbusters
As it’s a Friday, we thought we would post something a little more light hearted than we have the rest of the week. We have opted for some of the worst health & safety myths that have been around!
10. Graduates ordered not to throw their mortar boards in the air
9. Flip flops being banned from the workplace
8. Park benches being replaced because they are three inches too low
7. School children being ordered to wear clip on ties in case they are choked by traditional ties
6. Hanging baskets being banned in case people bump their heads on them
5. Candy floss on a stick being banned in case people trip and impale themselves
4. Pin the tail on the donkey games being deemed a health and safety risk
3. Trapeze artists being ordered to wear hard hats
2. Office workers being banned from putting up Christmas decorations
1 Children being banned from playing conkers unless they are wearing goggles
