11 Dutch Safety Signs That Are Really Creepy
Source: http://stuffdutchpeoplelike.com/2015/04/29/11-dutch-safety-signs-that-are-really-creepy/
How do you best inform the public about general safety precautions and the dangers of work place injuries? The Dutch combined two essential cultural traits: Dutch directness and pragmatism, et voila: very creepy (and now hilarious) Dutch Safety Posters! Maybe they should bring these back for modern disorders: e.g. bad spelling mistakes in emails; overusing of LOL; sharing hoax stories and cat photos on Facebook…etc. Wouldn’t the world be a better place? ;)
