WEARING a tie to work could kill hundreds of men each year if you believe the health & safety scaremongers.
It was reported in the media this morning that Bramhall High School in Stockport has banned pupils from wearing ties, because they could be too dangerous. Instead youngsters must go to school wearing a clip-on tie, or no tie at all.
So Britains leading online tie retailer www.tiewarehouse.co.uk has issued its tongue in cheek Top 5 Tie Safety Tips:
The sites Gary Baker said: Offices are dangerous enough places, with paper cuts and stapler injuries to contend with. We sell thousands of ties each year, so feel it is our duty to protect the men of Britain with this guide.
Tie Warehouses top 5 tie safety tips are:
1) Don't wear a tie in strong winds: it might wrap around your neck and choke you!
2) Don't hover near lift doors when they are closing: your tie might stay on the ground floor while you head for the third floor
3) Tuck your tie in your trousers before eating lunchtime soup: you may end up with no lunch as your tie gets all the soup
4) Avoid complicated tie knots: you might develop RSI
5) Don't run if your tie is lower than your belt: you might trip over it
Tie Warehouse was set up three years ago and now stocks more than 1,500 different types of ties and accessories.
Gary added: Having their employees look smart at work is important to many businesses. Were here to help keep the injury count down!
