should put on the padlock.

Somewhere I still have the severed hand (rubber) holding such a sign
that I used to use on power presses.


LOL :-)

I had an old plastic head, from a hair dressers shop, decorated with
splashes of red paint. The warning sign was mounted behind the blooded left
ear with a big nail. It caught the attention very quickly. :-)

I remember the story of the sparks in the bonded warehouse. He was jolted
along a conveyor belt when working on one of the lighting circuits. Working
after hours not to interrupt the production line and not expecting anyone to
be there at those hours, he had put red insulting tape over the switch to
stop it being used, but the cleaner just pulled the tape off and switched on
the lights. Not to serious a burn, but it left its mark on him.
