An occupational health and safety nightmare.  by johnfalconer

An occupational health and safety nightmare.

No safety boots. No back brace. No hi-vis vest. No gloves. No safety glasses. And no hard hat!!!
😱😀😀😀

Haha and its head is screwed on.

@wakelys
I missed the bolt in his head! Well spotted

@365projectorgchristine
thanks. I laugh every time I see this sign.
March 19th, 2024  
Fabulous find and capture, is that the only one or are there more?

@ludwigsdiana
Thanks. This sign is all over Sydney where there are roadworks.
March 19th, 2024  
Very cool and so interesting.
March 19th, 2024  
That's why he has no feet!
March 19th, 2024  
Ha ha poor chap he is not having a good day is he. On top of everything else he has also lost his hands and feet and his umbrella had blown inside out too.
March 19th, 2024  
Cool red! I loved the world before Health and Safety existed!
March 19th, 2024  
Exactly - and lost the ability to take care of himself and use common sense!
March 19th, 2024  
Good one!
March 19th, 2024  
I've never looked closely at these signs. I'll have to check them out and see if the they're the same on this side of the country :)
March 19th, 2024  
Hysterical…
March 19th, 2024  
So funny!
March 19th, 2024  
LOL! Very perceptive!

@onewing

Thank you everyone. I’ve waiting for a chance to post this image!!

Poor guy really isn't having a good day

@onewing very funny, I'll think of this every time I see the sign from now on
March 20th, 2024  
It appears to be a warning sign because of the color. Is it a warning to the worker to wear the boots, brace, safety vest, gloves, glasses and hat? Haha!
March 20th, 2024  
Lol. I never viewed those signs that way, but you are right. In the U.S., it would be an OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) nightmare.
March 20th, 2024  
Great find and capture. Lol.

@kjarn @randystreat @eudora @rickster549
Thanks for enjoying my fooling around!!
March 20th, 2024  
Funny 😅
March 20th, 2024  
Ha, ha. Good observation!
March 20th, 2024  
Great find and capture

Too funny!
March 20th, 2024  
Well spotted, a cool sign!
March 20th, 2024  
Fabulous colors and a great sign!
March 20th, 2024  
Don’t you just love “elf & safety”!
March 21st, 2024  
Nice😊

@carole_sandford
Love it! A hilarious comment.

@cordulaamann @mccarth1 @bkbinthecity @pattyblue @busylady @paintdipper @mubbur
Thanks. Problem is there is no one working anywhere near this sign. The roadworks are about 600m (660yds) away.
March 21st, 2024  
Look from the other side. This sign warns you against meeting a person who has a dangerous tool in his hand.
March 21st, 2024  
@haskar

I’ll watch out for him/her!!!
March 21st, 2024  
And I think he/she has a nail injury in their head... no hard hat, a workplace health and safety issue right there!
March 21st, 2024  
@mozette
Absolutely. Easily recognized!!
March 21st, 2024  
LOL
March 21st, 2024  
You’re quite right. Even silhouettes have to take proper precautions!!

@congaree @pdulis
Thanks for commenting.
March 21st, 2024  
Lol...

Lol

@swchappell @robz
Thanks. I was thinking about this for a while before the right challenge (signs) came up.
March 22nd, 2024  
@wakelys @johnfalconer Yes, screwed on, but not screwed on straight! (I'm not sure about your country- but here in the US that means someone is stupid or crazy.)

LOL- I'm not even sure why you need a sign warning people that someone is shoveling something, but maybe it's so you won't walk into the hole they leave behind.
March 23rd, 2024  
@olivetreeann
Same meaning here in Oz. The certainty don’t use a shovel much. Just big big machines!!
March 25th, 2024  
Lol, but the red background catches the eyes!
March 26th, 2024  
@corinnec
The red works.
