    Me too.

    My ex-workplace had a whole bunch of poisonous chemicals and heavy machinery, though! :Eek:

    I hated that job. I'd rather be unemployed.

    One time, at work at JC Penney's, I tore my nail right off my finger. I had to get "first aid" which was a bandaid and some rubbing alcohol.

    They shouldn't make edges so pointy.

    Depends on how many people piddle me off and whether I have my knife on me

    H&S keep saying that dumping PC cases and things on the floor (IT dept.) is a bit of a no-no, but generally speaking it's safe enough here.

    I'm a stock controller for the IT department of a large company, so if anything there's the constant lifting of heavy equipment that I have to do. The H&S tour of our warehouse today revealed we work in terribly cold conditions when over there (which is no news to me, it's a freezer there). Overall the worst I've suffered is simply dropping extremely heavy equipment on my finger or something, though. That hurts a lot.

    >>> Well you could say that my work is drawing or sitting in front of the computer for hours. Aside from ruining my fingers and eyesight, there is nothing dangerous about that.

    Nothing to dangerous about working in a DIY shop, although a 120KG bag of peat fell on my head the other day.

    I once dropped a can of WD-40 on my toes. That really hurt. And one time one of the residents road (rolled?) over my foot with her wheelchair. Sometimes my work cat nibbles on my nose.

    Not really dangerous. Like others, mostly just the risk of throwing out your back or something lifting heavy objects, slipping on a wet floor, or a ladder falling while I'm on top of it.

    However, I guess there is a pretty good risk of being robbed. I work at In-N-Out, and our stores get robbed preeeeeeeetty often. Lame people.

    I could get crushed to death in multiple ways. Although I work with a computer mostly, I do tend to travel around the shop floor and office a lot since I have to take care of other various tasks (I program a laser mainly. Yes, I am being serious). Besides being crushed, I could...

    *Impaled by forklift
    *Burned by welding equipment
    *Impaled by long, heavy sheets of steel
    *Get stabbed in varoius ways due to sharpness of steel parts
    *Lose a match against Scorpion in Mortal Kombat
