04 May 08 Safety Record

A company trying to continue its five-year perfect safety record showed its workers a film aimed at encouraging the use of safety goggles on the job.

According to Industrial Machinery News, the film’s depiction of gory industrial accidents was so graphic that twenty-five workers suffered minor injuries in their rush to leave the screening room.

Thirteen others fainted, and one man required seven stitches after he cut his head falling off a chair while watching the film.
