Caption competition results

Many thanks to the more than 50 readers who had a crack at supplying a caption to this photo, which was supplied to us by a reader who took it at an unnamed New Zealand workplace.

Congratulations to Chris Jordan, Clive Edwards and Nigel Thomas, who each win a copy of our book Work Safe – Healthy Business, a primer for anyone with health and safety responsibilities in New Zealand. Here are the captions which particularly took our fancy:

Their first attempt at hot-desking was a complete disaster (Ian Eaton, Nelson).

The headless office shifters were a wee bit camera-shy (Robert Holt, Porirua).

Attention! In the event of the lights not working an emergency electrician will drop down from a locker above your ahead (Ian Ross, Auckland)

Ostrich flu now declared as pandemic (Chris Jordan, Lower Hutt).

The annual meeting of the Agoraphobic Society got off to a rocky start (Nigel Thomas, Wellington).

Caution – meerkats at work (Clive Edwards, Wellington)

Edward was disappointed to meet the four ‘topless contractors' he'd be sharing the roofing job with (Sarah Reilly, New Plymouth).

The Special Forces arrived to find the man in a compromising manual handling position (Karen Woolf, Christchurch).

The fifth man was overcome with grief when he realised he'd forgotten his ladder (Robert Holt, Porirua).
