"Those stories are going to help a lot" says the trailer for the powerful workplace safety stories produced in a series of DVDs by Canadian company, Danatec. A few seconds into it, I see a man severely disfigured on face and arms by burn scars, a woman discussing the occupational disease that has made her a victim, and a pair of lab workers discussing the need for WHIMS training.

BUT it's NOT dull! Rather, the trailer is fast-paced, with an engaging soundtrack, cutting to images of varying workplaces, and still cram-packed with valuable information aimed at saving lives at work.

Some of the great Twitterers we are now following include:

I love it when I find great resources that promote the cause of workplace safety.  I just came across the new campaign that Work Safe Alberta is promoting.  

They have developed a campaign that is getting lots of press... I love the videos because:

That's right, an Australian 20-year-old thought it would be a hoot to drive his hoon forklift at top speed backwards with the rear wheels off the ground, performing burnouts, and crashing into a concrete pipe...

That was dumb. Deadly dumb.

He then proudly loaded the video onto YouTube... no, really.

That was dumber still.
