There are occasions when an individual is unlucky enough to experience a work accident due to the employer's negligence of Health and Safety Regulations which results in personal injuries, but sometimes someone may suffer an injury at work because an inappropriate prank has gone wrong.
Many workplaces can become dangerous if employees lose concentration, even for a moment. Being in the vicinity of chemicals, or heavy machinery, and not paying suitable attention to one's surroundings, for example, could end in a worker suffering severe personal injury or even death.
Adding further risk to an already hazardous environment by placing an item where it is not meant to be or making someone trip over, may seem innocent enough, but could end in disaster.
A prank which ended badly
In the US state of Indiana, in 2010, a worker in offices in the Fishers area of Indianapolis played a prank which involved a blowtorch. Four of his colleagues died and two were left in a critical condition after an explosion propelled fire through the office.
Keeping safe at work
If an employer has provided workers with protective equipment, then it is likely to be for a reason. Protective clothing should not be removed or tampered with as a joke. Similarly, safety warning signs should not be taken down or ignored for the sake of amusement.
Using potentially dangerous objects for a prank puts people's health and safety at risk. Sharp, hard or flammable objects should not be used, and some items which may seem harmless, could also cause an accident. Water tipping over someone could cause them to slip on the floor and seriously hurt themselves, for example.
