625 MPH
This sign and advisory plate (625 MPH, a test engineer’s joke) penetrated the windshield and roof of a car in a side-impact test crash. A safer sign would have stiffer uprights, no advisory plate and the flashing light would be moved to the point of the sign to spread the impact force.

Hard hat – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: “Management professor Peter Drucker credits writer Franz Kafka with developing the first civilian hard hat when he was employed at the Worker’s Accident Insurance Institute for the Kingdom of Bohemia (1912).[1] Whether or not Kafka actually invented the hard hat is open to debate, but he apparently was the first bureaucrat and insurer to demand its use by civilians”

All About Hard-hat saves dam worker’s life
All About Head Protection And Hard Hat Safety: “Hard-hats are as common in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as the castle image. For most people, those plastic helmets are probably just part of the scenery. But for one powerplant mechanic who fell more than 20 feet from an unprotected ledge at the Dardanelle Powerhouse, a hard-hat made a difference. Although hard-hats are not designed to protect against lateral blows, this one did and prevented serious injury or death.”

Myth of the month – September 2007
The Myth: Kids must wear goggles to play conkers;
This is one of the oldest chestnuts around, a truly classic myth. A well-meaning head teacher decided children should wear safety goggles to play conkers. Subsequently some schools appear to have banned conkers on ‘health & safety’ grounds or made children wear goggles, or even padded gloves!
Realistically the risk from playing conkers is incredibly low and just not worth bothering about. If kids deliberately hit each other over the head with conkers, that’s a discipline issue, not health and safety.

Safety Officer Joke
Two safety officers, one old male the other young female, and a donkey were travelling. The female safety office rode the donkey while the old man walked.
In the first town they went to, the people all said; “How hard for that old man who has to walk!”
The two travelling safety officers heard this and decided that the female safety officer should walk and the old man should ride.
In the next town, people whispered, “What a shame, he makes the young lady walk!”
So the pair decided that they should both ride.
In the third town, people all muttered about how cruel it was to make the donkey work so hard.
So they both decided to carry the donkey.
On the way to the next town, they had to go across a bridge. As they walked across it, they slipped and the donkey fell in to the river and drowned.
The moral of the story is – If you try to please everyone, you will eventually end up losing your ass.
