Health and Safety Made Fun

The words 'health and safety video' typically inspire a feeling of dread and images of a rather dreary man in a hi-viz jacket speaking woodenly into a wobbling camera. It would seem that the Aussies do it rather better, however. Metro Trains Melbourne has come up with a cartoon designed to help people understand that dicing with their trains, trying to beat level crossing gates and not taking care on platforms are actually pretty dumb things to do.
I feel I must issue a couple of warnings:
  • for those of a sensitive disposition: the film depicts cartoon characters in scenes of extreme peril and even suffering grizzly ends
  • you're going to be singing that darned song for the rest of the day

  2. Isn't it great?! I think I've even perfected the dance, though obviously my version lacks the gruesome injuries!

  3. Hehe, same! Yeah, well I know a couple of people who could potentially add in the gruesomeness! ;)

  4. Hm, I think I'll leave the grizzly stuff to the cartoon characters. They do it so well!
