These are a little old, but worth seeing. These Public Service Announcements from the Ontario workers safety group are certainly unusual and will no doubt raise a few eyebrows.
Chef PSA...with a twist of shock
They've got a bunch at the official Ontario WSIB website:
Prevent It.ca
Quite the campaign.
Canadian PSAs, kinda freaky

In memory of Perach, who suffered and died needlessly.
I wish I could have been with you that one last time.

Speaking of accidents, I just returned from walking the dog, and I fell, again *sigh*, in this pit where some metal thieves stole the iron lid.
It's not ready yet(might be for electric cables), so it's just half a meter, but it's got an iron rim and some metal protrusion in the middle which almost twisted my leg last time.
This is the second time in about a week I fell there, dammit.
I'm gonna fill it up with stones once I can walk better.
This time only scraped both my knees and left palm, but almost broke my right toe's nail, and it's sending painful messages every now and then.

I mean, ordinarily, most people would just zone out when they watch the commercial. But this one really grabs ya.

Only just now watched all four of them, and the chef one is my favorite, because of her shrieks when it spills on her. 
Also, I find it annoying when they get up after the accident and explain it, it ruins the whole suspension of disbelief- making them explain before it happens(chef, building worker) is much more effective(read: entertaining).
The one with the ladder and light reminds me of my work in the army storerooms, where I had to take out kit-bags(?) from very big shelves obviously designed for big crates and forklifts to pick them up(like the guy that has the metal rods fall on him).
Some times they were also soaking wet because of roof leaks, so they weighed alot, almost like me, while I was standing on a ricketty ladder(you'd think they could fix their ladders or buy new ones with all the money they spend on stupid pens etc, wankers).
I'm still surprised I didn't get to blow up delivering fuel to bases though.
