This week’s safety moment

I’ve worked for several mining and resources companies, and they are all big on safety. In one company, EVERY meeting — no matter what it was about, how long it went for, or who was attending — had to start with a safety issue.

So on that note here’s this week’s safety moment from me. I received the pictures in this series from a work colleague some time ago. And as it’s a long weekend here in Australia this weekend, I thought it was an opportune time to share.

The scenario: Someone has invited others to a BBQ for Australia Day (a national holiday in the middle of summer) and each person has to bring something along to contribute to the success of the BBQ. The pictures tell the rest of the story…

What was he (and the person who put the BBQ over his head) thinking? Just be thankful he wasn’t asked to bring the gas bottle too!
