Prevent-It.ca Workplace "Accidents" Videos - Must Watch!

Have you seen all the 5 Prevent-It.ca videos? I've seen them weeks ago but only got time to post about them now. Their ads or clips were to show how people and companies can prevent accidents from happening in the workplace. They're saying that there are really no accidents but they are simply results of negligence.

I'm an OC (obsessive-compulsive) person. Not the extreme kind though. I'm just very careful and very observant of everything around me. I make sure I'm safe from harm as much as possible even when I'm just at home. Mai gets irritated sometimes but that's how I am.

How OC am I? I'll list some examples:

• Whenever I'm in the kitchen or near something sharp, especially a knife, I make sure its sharp edge is not pointing at me or anyone. Also, I make sure it's not anywhere it could fall and stab or hurt someone.
  
  
• After doing a #2, I wash my hands and use alcohol after. I'm very conscious about germs. This is one of the things Mai sometimes can't stand. Whenever she does a #2, as soon as she comes into the room, I have alcohol ready for her. I don't think it's really about being an OC but simply hygiene or manners, right?
  
  
• After taking a bath or doing anything inside the bathroom, I make sure there's nothing slippery on the floor. I don't want anyone slipping and hitting their heads anywhere when they're in there. I was already a victim of this at our home in Malabon. I was suspecting our maid left the floor slippery unintentionally out of laziness to clean up the whole bathroom. Good thing I was able to soften my fall by holding on to dear toilet. Eeeww. I had to scrub my arms and lather up twice to make sure I had no toilet residue on me. LOLz.

I can't really remember what else I do out of being an OC. I guess I do them subconsciously so I'm not fully aware (duh). I'll just update this list next time.

Anyway, going back to the video, I completely agree with them. I believe people should not take things for granted. Also, companies should take seriously if their employees are complaining about something that affects their work environment and their safety. That'll surely save them more than paying off a dead employee's family because of unsecure work environment.

With that, I also want to point out that I'm not saying that people should all be OC or something like that. What I'm saying is we just need to be careful, that's all.

Anyway, you have to watch this video. The one who posted this on Youtube (darkumbra93) arranged them in the order of most painful to least. I would've put the 4th clip as #3 though.


What do you think? The 1st and 2nd clips were kinda shocking. One of my fears is to be in an accident similar to #1 and #4. Eekk.
