Can you share some funny safety related stories?
Sure. One story is about a construction worker. He always wore his hard hat backwards for some 'fashion' statement. One day, a small piece of debris fell from above. By chance, it hit the back of his head where the hard hat was. Because it was on backwards, it protected him just as well as if it was the right way around. Everyone had a good laugh about it afterwards.
