Ah, the honking of the weaver bird and poem about safety at work. Amazing what the mind recalls. I don't remember what I ate last Thursday but I can recite those adverts. |

Great minds
Frisby in the sub station...kite/fishing rod in the powerlines...."
Hang on, I've worked it out. Kids don't play outside anymore so no need for the film's! |

"Charlie says...
Introduced us to stranger danger (and the chance of meeting puppies) but completely missed that children are at more risk with known people.
And Oooooo look he's waving!"
Charlie Cat one used to scare me  |

That one with the grim reaper and the Lake still makes me shiver
Oh and Robbie, the lad who got run over on the train track and his feet chopped off...cue the end shot of his footy boots hung on the back of his bedroom door [sob] |

They used to show us strange public information films at school.
A group of kids visiting a farm and one by one they died. In a silo.. drinking chemicals.. crushed by a farm gate...
Ahhh the good old days.  |

I can remember one that scared me but I don't know what it was warning against.
There was an old lady setting a bear trap for someone coming in the door. Maybe intruders or something, it really frightened me when I was a child.  |

Sounds like an early version of the Final Destination films. |

I remember seeing some implied gory films. 
The farmer climbing over a stile with an unbroken shotgun. You hear the bang and then see him lying in the floor having shot himself in the leg 
And another diy'er in the garage, table saw a buzzing and him tripping over stuff and putting a hand out to stop himself
Put me off power tools for many years |
