Health & safety gone mad? The Top 5 Tie
Safety Tips
WEARING a tie to work could kill hundreds of men each
year – if you believe the health & safety
scaremongers.
It was reported in the media this morning that Bramhall
High School in Stockport has banned pupils from wearing
ties, because they could be too dangerous. Instead youngsters
must go to school wearing a clip-on tie, or no tie at
all.
So Britain’s leading online tie retailer www.tiewarehouse.co.uk
has issued its tongue in cheek Top 5 Tie Safety Tips:
The site’s Gary Baker said: “Offices are
dangerous enough places, with paper cuts and stapler
injuries to contend with. We sell thousands of ties
each year, so feel it is our duty to protect the men
of Britain with this guide”.
Tie Warehouse’s top 5 tie safety tips are:
1) Don't wear a tie in strong winds:
it might wrap around your neck and choke you!
2) Don't hover near lift doors when they are
closing: your tie might stay on the ground
floor while you head for the third floor
3) Tuck your tie in your trousers before eating
lunchtime soup: you may end up with no lunch
as your tie gets all the soup
4) Avoid complicated tie knots: you
might develop RSI
5) Don't run if your tie is lower than your
belt: you might trip over it
Tie Warehouse was set up three years ago and now stocks
more than 1,500 different types of ties and accessories.
Gary added: “Having their employees look smart
at work is important to many businesses. We’re
here to help keep the injury count down!”
