Bring back public health and safety films

Another child drowns in a garden pond, yesterday evening in the Morcombe bay area, not really important news to the government, as they are to engrossed in this big society thing.

At least 500 kids will have been accidently ki11ed in the UK this year by various means, as long as the rest get education, education, education, that is all that mattered to Tony.

Five hundred thousand kids with A levels is a good result, five hundred kids losing their lives over the space of a year, and each and every year, who's bothered?

Twelve deaths in the last five years through tombstoning alone, not to mention all the deaths from other types of accidents mentioned on this particular thread,

But if you are flying an England flag with England written on it during the world cup, officials in some parts of this country will go to the trouble of ordering you to take it down.

The RNLI have just gone to the trouble of making a health and safety film on the dangers of tombstoning, jumping of piers and promanades onto the sand below, and crippling or killing oneself,

All we need now is the BBC to go to the trouble of showing this 30 second film, once a month for ever will do, Blackpool usually has a death or paralised stagnighter every year alone.

Nice to see the governments and authorities taking health and safety seriously at last by banning the dangerous two hundred years old tradition of cheese rolling, no doubt this will save quite a few lives every year, well done and well spotted.

A car, whom a 42 year old man was working on underneath has just come off its supports and crushed him to death in Church broughton in the midlands,

This is an often repeated occurance in the UK, a public safety film highlighting this problem could hopefully reduce the times this happens,

A pile of two or three old wheels with tyres on their sides underneath the jacked up point on the car, "provides a perfect safety net" should the car slip off the often unstable axle stands or jack,

I have the trolly jack that jacks right up to over two foot high, then I slip a pair of large wheel ramps under the wheels, one facing the other way so there is no chance of movement,

Another senseless loss of life.

Just been through my local cemetery and seen hundreds of grave stones with a big galvanised stake hammered into the ground behind the gravestone, and then a bright yellow nylon strap fastening the gravestone to the stake, presumably to stop the stone falling suddenly onto a child pulling or pushing the gravestone,

This must have cost thousands, I don't recall anyone getting ki11ed by a gravestone over the years, this is an example of health and safety spending cash in the complete wrong place, read all the previous comments on "bring back public health and safety films" and I am sure you will agree with me.

A corrected death toll from falling through frozen ice during the Dec-Jan cold snap is nine, this figure was taken from last nights seven o'clock weather documentry,

This documentry lasted an hour, the public health and safety film on keeping off iced up water lasts a minute, and widely shown could have saved up to nine lives.

And towards the end of this current cold spell, another woman drowned trying to rescue her dog from a frozen pond (the dog got out in the end unscathed)

That brings the total to four drownings by falling through ice in this cold spell, and I suspect there may have been more not so widely reported cases,

No one in the government seems to be taking any notice whatsoever of any of the hundreds of easily preventable deaths that we have in the UK yearly,

But as soon as there is need for help in a foriegn country, the planes are taking off before you can say bring back public health and safety films.

Two adults have drowned falling through thin ice at a lake in watermead park in Leicestershire, (reportadly feeding bread to ducks) a couple of days ago,

Another adult drowned in the Newcastle area falling through thin ice trying to recue his dog from the ice, all these deaths a senseless loss of life,

If these films had been shown a couple of times a day when the ponds rivers and lakes are iced over in the winter, these three people may still be alive.

Gordon Brown has today strongly condemned China for executing a Brittish man in posession of 4kg of drugs, he really went to the trouble to do it, (like China will take any notice)

Gordon, you are the man in charge of THIS country, not China, hundreds of brittish innocents get ki11ed needlessly every year in THIS country, (by many means and ways)

These health and safety films are still knocking about in film archives, how about doing some good in this country for once? all that has to be done is to ORDER the BBC to start airing these films again, two or three different ones every day (for free of course as the BBC already skanks the brittish public enough)

A lot of people do not yet posess the common sense that others do, some of the newer films on drink driving and phone driving were really good, but you only ever see them once, and then they are forgotten by a lot of people,

Yeah and now the Scouting Association says

"Scouting helps to prepare young people with valuable life skills, while keeping them safe by not carrying knives."

We live in Cloud Cuckoo land. What time is it?

Tedsmum, 3rd nov, the facts are that many human beings, and more upsettingly little kids, are dying every day through many reasons, which I have taken time to highlight here, I can imagine the suffering every bereaved family undergoes,

Even the b@stard tw@t that wanted to own that "make you look dead hard illegal pitbull" cried his eyes out carrying the four year olds coffin yesterday,

Only a massive education programme can stop this, the public health and safety films that we used to have and new ones as well,

They would only have to be shown at the rate of a couple a day, and over time, a lot of people would remember them all,

The BBC has long been said by many to be an unwanted cash burden that not many people want, I say let's get some good use out of it for once, and re-air these films.

What will the next little kid get ki11ed by? smoke? air rifle? petdog? lce or snow? railway? or cotdeath?
