Work Safety Jokes

Work safety jokes are a way to add some humor to a subject that is usually quite a serious one. When coworkers can have a good chuckle together, it helps people who work together feel that they are part of a team.

Workplace safety is no joke.

There are many forms that work safety jokes can take. They may be any one of the following:

• Short question-and-answer joke
• A story with a funny ending
• A cartoon
• A photograph
• A PowerPoint slide show

Work safety jokes are interesting ways to share safety messages with employees. Rather than expect a person to sit down and read a safety manual, memo, or e-mail about safety policies, adding some humor to the topic is a way to get the message across that safety is important in a way that keeps the employees' interest. You can show the pictures, tell the joke, or share the story and then discuss the safety issue that it pertains to.

The employees may be more likely to remember the message you are trying to convey if you include some humor with it. This can be an effective teaching technique and it is one that is worth trying in your organization.

The Internet has a number of resources where you can find work safety jokes. Here are a few examples of sites that have this kind of information:

• The Guy-Sports.com web site includes several images of less-than-safe workplace practices. It also has a Powerpoint presentation featuring a number of photos that definitely don't show how to stay safe at work. This material would be a great starting point for a number of safety discussions that start off with, "What's wrong with this picture?"

• The SafetyPhoto.co.uk web site has a number of work safety jokes posted on it. Many of them are at the expense of the poor safety manager. Apparently, people working in that type of position are thought of as severely lacking in social skills and who are way too concerned with the fine print when preparing reports.

Enjoy the experience, but don't ever lose sight of the important underlying message that these jokes contain. Ignoring safety procedures can lead to injuries or even death. It's no laughing matter.
