Just as various groups did the car crash thing over and over and over and over and over again, it seems we’re in for a graphic workplace safety trend as well. Following last year’s effort from Canadian group Prevent-it, Australia’s WorkSafe Victoria is out with a series of ads in which a guy misuses a nail gun, a cook carries a pot of boiling water that’s too heavy and a woman has a bit of trouble using a bagel slicer.
The focus of the campaign urges workers to ask for help if they don’t know how to use a particular piece of equipment. The ads will air in two versions. One will will air prior to 8:30PM as a PG version. After that, the full blown gross out version will air.
