At Stax we believe that the safety of our employees and the customers that visit our stores is top of the list for importance. Thankfully, we live in a world where strict health and safety guidelines keep us safe in our everyday working environments. However, somebody might want to mention that to these guys…

1. “Just hold still mate…”

 
2. The irony is almost as painful as the fall would be
 
 
 
3. At least somebody's footing the ladder!
 
 
 4. When you tell the scaff it’s job and knock.
 
 
 
 
 
5. Apprentices really do get a raw deal nowadays
 
 
 
6. Welding masks are expensive to be fair.
 
7. Putting a lot of faith in that jack...
 

8. Very green of him to recycle, but also very stupid!
 
 
9. Smoking kills
 
10. There are no words…
