Health and safety

English Rules
1. Mind the gap between the platform and the train please.
2. This coffee is hot( I should jolly well hope so)
3. Please take care when using the stairs.
4. For your safety and protection this conversation is monitored/ CCTV cameras are in operation.
5. No going up step ladders with more than two steps without a colleague to hold same.( Schools would fall apart if we paid attention to this one).

South African Hand S
1. A six foot wooden plank with nails sticking out is a wonderful form of free amusement in orphanage play area.
2. If ball goes over fence, suggest to child they balance on wheelie bin and stick head through barbed wire loop to see where exactly ball gone.( Honest)
3. When volunteer asks where is long handled spoon to mix sugar into fruit salad, smile politely and suggest uses hands. No gloves provided.
4. Is waste of time putting disinfectant/ bleach away between cleaning stints in shared bathrooms. Leave out for ease of access.

And do you know, I know of no accident or illness in the orphanage.
Makes you wonder.
