Safety first and last

One of the complications of modern life is that there are just so many safety signs around. You see them everywhere these days but often one wonders whether fewer signs and more common sense would be a better way to go.

Do we really need to be told that smoking is dangerous? Smokers just ignore the warnings and others don’t need to read them. And so it is in many areas.

In the commercial world, there you’ll find signs telling you that a safety harness is required for those going on site along with a whole host of warnings. Even a house renovation project will require its own little sign safety sign. Does that actually add anything to the safety on the site though? Somehow, I suspect that the answer is, at best, “very little”.
