Safety Graphic Fun

It's not just wet -- it's the slippery vortex of doom!

Thanks Jay C!

Well Dressed Safety

Dang, another good suit, RUINED!

I love waterslides!

Thanks to Darrel and Claire's Safety Adventures!

Oooh, I'm so angry when I'm slippery!

Thanks JB!

Slippery Safety - The Third Collection

It's been quite a while since our last Slippery Collection, but with a recent spate of hilarious submissions, It had to be done.

This one is for all you east coasters complaining about the weather. Clearly it's not that cold. Safety Guy could still do Jazz Hands even under icy conditions!

Thanks Emily R!

 

Very thoughtful to provide signage for those who are tall and those who are vertically challenged.

Thanks Kim W!

 

We've seen this one before, but I liked Lillie S's take on it: "In the event you wet your black unitard: strategically place a cup next to the puddle, lay down & try to look nonchalant!"

Thanks Lillie!

 

The Safety Graphic Fun translators assure me that this sign indicates when and where the cleaning lady is taking a break. She sure looks relaxed!

Thanks Noam!

Slippery? What about that gale force wind??

Thanks Steve J!

 

And finally, I just adore the oddly specific nature of this one. 

Thanks Gabe K!

Snakebite Safety

Serves you right for thinking it was bacon on the floor. Surprise! Snake triplets!

(Maybe if you'd put the oven mitts on your feet, the snake bite would have been harmless.)

Thanks Bethany M!

Pee Safety

We've seen this sign before, but I liked Christin H's take on it:

"Maybe it just means that when they are watering the plants, it might make you have to pee, and then when you are crossing your legs and trying to hold it, you will be more likely to fall straight backwards."

Best to pee before shopping for plants.

Thanks Christin and thanks to Cynthia H for making Christian send this in to SGF! We love the word of mouth...!

Snow and Ice Safety

I don't know much about cold weather as I live in Los Angeles and today's high will be...[checks forecast]...75 degrees. 

Is it true that when you slip on ice, lightning bolts shoot out at you as well? 

Also it seems redundant to mention snow when the sign is sitting in it.

Thanks Cynthia!

Attack Safety

Stay tuned for the hot new reality show: When Safety Signs Attack!

I'll be tuning in with you, Fraulein M! And thanks!

Parade Safety

This outfit, except for the skates, looks a lot like the costume I wore when I twirled batons and was in parades in elementary school. Thank god I didn't know just how dangerous it was!

 

Thanks Rob E!
 

Summer Fun Safety

You know you are in P town when you start seeing these signs. Fabulous!

Thanks a whole lot, Fräulein M!

Groyne Saftey

If I had a dollar for every time I heard that...

Thanks Paddy!

Glee Safety

Which reminds me, GLEE started back last week!

 

Thanks Klotzy!
 

Pellets Safety

I just love the randomness of this very specific sign. 

 

Thanks Roo!
 

Careful Safety

Good advice, really. Look what happened to that guy - he mutated into another being entirely!

 

Thanks Liz J for finding this via funnytypos.com!

Thanks Jason!

Slippery Safety - A Mostly International Collection

Here is our second collection of "Slippery When Wet" signs, mostly from international sources.  Safety Man has so many ways to fall.

Achtung! In Germany, there are great oil slicks that just appear at will and no amount of kicking the walls is going to bring help, I fear.

Thanks Michael S!

In Japan there seems to be an issue with sound waves emanating from between your legs...hmmm, I know Japanese society is very polite so they would frown on, ahem, passing gas.

How do you say "Ow! My coccyx!" In Japanese?

 

Thanks to Angelina for the Japanese submissions!

In England they drive on the wrong other side of the road, but why post slippery signs upside down? Those British, so inscrutable.

Let's turn it around so you can appreciate the proper poise and decorum of this safety man and his (or is it her?) crossed legged seated position.

 

Thanks Paddy!

This last one is just good advice, really. If you are chillaxin' at a party, make sure your drink is out of the traffic zone, lest it get kicked over. That's a good cocktail wasted.

Thanks Brian S!

Keep sending in those "Slippery" signs, and we'll have Collection #3 posted soon!

Slippery Safety

Looks like Space Ghost stepped on his own cape, ripped it off, then fell. Edna was right.

 

Thanks Mary! Hope Niagra Falls was fun...

Clean And Dry Safety

How come the guy has no hands but clearly has feet? I mean, look at that fabulous pair of boots!

Thanks Roo!

Wet Floor Safety Collection

I'm amazed at the variety in graphics for "Wet Floor" cones and signs. Are people working in safety graphic companies constantly striving to improve the image? Is there a competition? Seems like it. Let's take a look at all the varieties.

Here is a very standard sign, though interestingly, it doesn't tell you what to be cautious about. But Rubbermaid is making dang sure that you know who's warning you. 

This one is more clear. Wet floor. Good. 

But then why does it look like the guy is trying not to fall into a triangle shaped crevasse?

Again, more specific with the warning, but this guy looks like he's trapped inside a triangle shaped room and can't escape. What is with the triangle shaped warning anyway?

Jeremiah sent this in and I feel bad for this tortured soul who is kept floating in a hanging triangle cage. Someone let him out!

Thanks Jeremiah!

This guy knows he's stuck. TWO triangle barriers! He's just chillin, waiting for the Navy Seals.

This guy has Lionel Ritchie on the brain and is going to try dancing on the ceiling.

This guy has mad skillz and is escaping from the triangle. Probably took the urban escape and evasion class in LA.

I LOVE this guy. Even going down, he does it with style, though less Fosse and more Twyla Tharp.

At least this guy is out of the triangle, but it seems more like levitation. And if you can levitate, you don't have to worry about slipping. Unless this area has less gravity and that is what the real warning is.

And my favorites sent in by my Mom. The dudes dancing a jig at Ross:

Keep sending in the wet floor signs -- I'll have a 2nd collection soon!
