The Eyes Have It For managers who use their eyes to read	Managers who read things are reminded that reading is a potentially hazardous activity. Recently a manager suffered minor eye strain after reading for two hours. Readers are reminded to take the following precautions when performing this activity: Always keep a safe distance between your eyeball and the paper you are reading. Less than 3mm is potentially hazardous, more than 2km may make comprehension difficult. Always read material the "correct" way up. You can find this out by reading the material from many orientations and choosing the most comfortable one. Material written in languages you do not understand may cause you discomfort if you try to read it. If you are not sure what language a document is written in, speak to you line manager.
Briefs Encounter For all staff who wear undergarments	Staff who wear undergarments are reminded that there are risks associated with such clothing. Recently a BT employee suffered minor discomfort in his nether regions after wearing a close-fitting undergarment. Readers are reminded that undergarments are usually very safe but care does need to be taken with their use: Always read the users manual that comes with your undergarments. Although this may seem obvious it is suprising the number the pant-wearers who do not do this. Never clean your undergarments with an acidic solution. Such cleaners are known to cause minor irritation. Male members of staff may find the removal of externally protruding genitalia a reasonable alternative to pant constriction.
Stairway to Bedlam For all staff who use stairs	People who use stairs are reminded that they are a potential source of danger. The recommended way to descend stairs is the traditional "one foot in front of the other" approach which involves placing alternate feet on the steps sequentially. Unacceptable methods of descending are: Sitting on a tray Sliding down bannisters Rolling (both forward-roll style and sideways-roll style are hazardous) Diving A lift may considered a reasonable alternative to stairs, but remember to check your local quality instructions first.
