Today, I had to give this safety moment at work. It is basically so you start a meeting with a blurb about safety, since obviously the number one concern of a company is
profitability making sure the employees go home safe.
I was going to talk about home safety and then talk about the time I banged my head in the kitchen and ended up with 5 stitches. Then, I thought better of it, since usually people who bang their heads and end up with stitches are unfairly labeled as morons.
So, I ended up talking about pruning and tree trimming safety. I even told the anecdote about the time I went outside and the lawn keeper guy here was on the top rung of a ladder wielding a chainsaw while shaving some hedge.
But, although I settled on trees, a lot of my good ideas ended up on the cutting room floor.
For instance, I strongly considered
bee safety. 
Tips: If attacked, cover your face and run. Do not attempt to punch the bees or scare them away. These tactics will only lead to angering the bees.
Next, I thought about
chainsaw safety. Decapitation city. No good.
Atleast his right arm is okay.
Also, I found out a lot of deaths happen at home when kids get into drugs.
Smack-Heads come in all shapes and sizes.
Oh, and a final thought.
Try not to carry around boxes during a lightning storm. Recipe for disaster.
