Nice!

I like the scene.  At first glance, it just seems like a fairly typical scene--until the irony strikes.  And there IS a moral to this:  When you see a chance for something like this, strike when the irony is hot.

That's funny. Thanks for the

And he's also got no hands on the ladder (I believe you're always supposed to have one, or else be tied on with a harness). I took a Falls Prevention course a few years ago, and when I saw your picture, immediately thought: "That's not right. At all."

clever

A great way to add interest to an otherwise large wall.

Might steal the idea for somewhere on my module.

Hope it shows up as well in n scale.

Hello Graeme, please use this

Hello Graeme, please use this idea and make it your own, It will show up very nicely on any module as it is N scale.

You tried to make a funny, but you just modeled reality

My first day in a new shop I witnessed a new safety board (to hold the number of days placards) being installed by a couple of guys standing on a sheet metal brake.

Pride and 13 days...

Looking at that shop's practices, I'd guess that the sign seldom reaches 13 days...

If you ever want to change the scene, you could have an ambulance there, and one worker under the "13."  Getting hit with a safety sign would be rather ironic...

the sign?

what did you use to make the sign? How did you do it/?

Thanks Matt, I am a Paramedic

Thanks Matt, I am a Paramedic and have seen many situations like this over 32 years of service.  I am still amazed at how far people can go to get themselves into trouble.

I don't want to take to much

I don't want to take to much work home with me.  As a Paramedic, I could fill the layout with all sorts of man's testament to our own collective foolishness.  Everyone of us can relate to what is happening (having done something similar) and what the outcome will/could be.  I like to leave the final outcome to the imagination of the observer.

Thanks Rich for your

Thanks Rich for your interest,  I was wondering if someone would ask about the sign.

I found a photo of the poster online.  I opened the photo in a photo shop program and then added the text box with the safety message.  I had to use an ultra small font to keep the N Scale perspective in the words.  I then adjusted the background of the text box so that the poster could be seen coming through.

The CN banner is another image from the internet that I placed on top of the poster.

The entire image was then saved as a jpeg.  I then measured the area that I wanted to place the poster and reduced the image to that size.  I printed the poster on photo paper in full color.

The poster was cut out using a new blade and a straight edge.  I recommend using a black marker to cover the edges of the cut paper.

Once glued into place on the building I brushed a little dry weathering to take the gloss out of the paper.

I would like to write a detailed "How To" article on this at a later date.
