Really Real Risk

Risk is an ever popular term. In the workplace we see risk strategies, risk assessments, risk registers and the like.  Often written from the comfort and safety of an air conditioned office about financial, reputational or even opportunity risk.

Here's a sign about risk....

Risk of Injury, Do Not Cross Barrier

The sign itself is looking a bit aged unloved, as are the surroundings. Perhaps the sign's not really needed and has been forgot about, and may be not relevant anymore.

But pan back and stand around a little and the very real risk becomes very clear indeed

Reassuringly there's a more serious sign along the way....does make you wonder if the original rather tired sign is actually doing more harm than good.
