Darren:
I saw this on another site ... well worth repeating here  :thumbup:

slowcoach:
Sound advice  :thumbup:

Like I said on the other site.

Only a dummy would get that close to a spinning cutter. :lol:

Seriously though, too many young blokes would laugh at that dummy,because it is a dummy. You need real life situations like has been said, it would sink in more and make them think, to see a real person getting hurt.

Whatever they need to show to drive this point home is what is needed. 
I still see a comment now and then like:  Luckily, I was wearing gloves, so it didn't hurt my hand except for a few bruises.  What was lucky is, they didn't get their arm ripped off.

It can't be stressed enough!

Never wear gloves, or have loose rags near your machine tools.  I have had my warning and I intend to heed it!

I had surgery on my hand recently (tumour removed from my right hand) and of course I could not wait to get back down into the shop even before the incision had healed so I put on a very light latex glove.   Even though I was very careful in no time at all the finger tip got caught up and the finger ripped off the glove, had it been a substantial work glove  I would have been back down at the hospital.
