What’s AMAZING about this is that you can’t actually release a videogame in Germany with gore in it. They legally force you to change all the blood to green, replace all human enemies with robots, remove all references to death and killing, etc. Their censorship laws are INSANE. I don’t know how the FUCK something like this could get made, but it’s a miracle. Bless them.
The ending had me nearly in tears, as always. So amazing.
CLASSIC!!!
dammit klauss!! haha
i’m not gona work in germany after that [2]
Any of the big job sites,,, Monster, Career Builder, etc…. will list these jobs. The key to making it easy,,, is to set up an automatic search which emails you with matches.
Then the hardest part is putting in the keywords on the search. Use these,,,,

In all my years of constuction/building I have never heard of Health and Safety Regulations regarding a gap at the bottom of a fence. In fact you must have a small gap to keep the fence from resting on the ground which would cause wood rot and rapid deterioration of the fence. The easiest way to find out is by Contacting the Building Department for you Town, City or County. They will have the current specifications regarding a fence. Sounds like you have a not so nice neighbor who is going to cause trouble, best you check things out, and then try to calm her down……..you are going to be neighbors for possibly a LONG time and it is my experience that you need to live in some sort of harmony.
go klauss!
no way its been a long time since i have seen this, anyone remember out there the short film show? was were i saw this insanity in german lol, GO Klauss GO!!
i’m not gona work in germany after that
I see what you're trying to do. If you've never met a health and safety officer before, you should use your imagination. Which all actors use them. Try this, close your eyes and do some movement while portraying the character. You might need to put on a serious face. The costume and props will be very important tough. Be careful about trying to give an over-the-top performance, because you wouldn't want to be type casting actor(an actor who the audiences accept him for one character; Arnold, Steven Segal, Jackie Chan), trust me.
Call your local fire department to give a demonstration on how to put out a small fire. Ask if they would include hands-on demonstrations for your staff on how to use a fire extinguisher. That is always a thrill!
Ask you local hospital or red cross if they would give a talk and if they could bring a couple of dummies to practice first aid on. Then hold a competition where the winner gets his/her photo printed on a certificate and hung on your reception wall. Cheap. Fun.
Hold a week long poll and ask your staff to list all the potential hazards in your work place and how to best rectify the situation with the least cost. Select the best suggestion and give the winner a day off plus a free meal for his family?

If you spot a spill, report it to proper authorities.
If you see a person who looks suspicious, report them.
Make sure you are wearing the required attire. (hard hats, goggles, suit and tie, closed toe shoes)
Know where the closest fire exits are and fire extinguishers
Don't know the code, but have you tried washing them from the ground using a garden hose, or borrowing a ladder from central maintenance?
the guide line must followed –not knowing only–also school authorities may not permit you to handle such a chemical of dangerous nature with out supervision–you must have your own protective armours
Most cities & counties have listings of job openings posted on-line……
College has a different meaning here in Canada. Did you mean college in the Canadian sense or the American sense?
Some may say that all Canadian universities are similar. This is not entirely true. If you look at schools as a whole, then it is very true that most top Canadian universities are at the same level (McGIll, U of T, etc). McGill and U of T, however, are superior in science and engineering. McGill is also the only internationally well recognized school in Canada. I lived in the US and went to a very prestigious prep school prior to coming up here for my undergrad. No one down there had ever heard of and of the Canadian schools except McGill, which partly affected my decision to go here.
Awesome!
people back in the old days could have cared less, the reason people are doin this now is because we live in a too polite society and everyhight ranking official in this area is a prick and a puss
Any translation for this video? This is great!
Well I guess you have to look up Health and safety legislation in your country – there is no alternative. It is mostly about the workplace. Usually the "punch line" is a few key words. I think a basic idea is the golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". The legislation normally applies to the workplace. Earlier legislation often existed, such as various forms of energy control. The environment comes into safety legislation, via toxic hazards.
In Australia legislation is based on "duty of care". In the US I am not sure, but one of the catch phrases was "the right to know". The rest of the legislation is about who has the power to create regulations, enforce them and so on. Then there are the regulations themselves. In Australia a lot is embodied in the "Plant Regulations", as this applies to machines in factories. The regulations are often adapted from previous ones. Think of boilers. After the first few exploded long ago regulations appeared. These have been adapted and taken on by current OHS regulations. Unfortunately the issue is complex because of the wide ranging implications, and the large number of regulators, both vertically in different tiers of government, and laterally in the various departments and interests involved. There are a lot of what I would call "anomalies caused by vested interests". These include multiple bodies trying to regulate the same thing (even in the same government), state versus federal rights, and of course industry in avoidance technology mode. All of this is rich picking for the legal profession.
We have primary legislation, the big picture, then regulations. These in turn may formalise national or state standards (such as electrical regulations) or best practice documents.
On the legal side it takes a lot of training to become expert.
On the workplace side it takes a lot of training to become expert, particularly as one needs Technical/Engineering know how to understand or analyse a lot of the issues. I have seen OHS officers struggling with this often. The budget needs to allow for consultants in some cases, hired equipment in other cases.
At first it can seem overwhelming. In my state companies with more than 150 employees need to have a full time OHS person.
It is necessary to have specific management procedures in place to detect and nullify hazards. Usually a continuous improvement management method is used. This is like a closed loop control system. Measure the outcome and determine the error, go back and correct it. The approach at corporate levels is to protect against litigation. "Show that all reasonable care has been taken." Hopefully this also protects workers and the public. The legislation is to help enforce this corporate responsibility.
I think it is best to review the legislation first to determine the scope, what needs to be addressed. A few seminars at the various levels of management helps. Make a list of all the issues in a workplace, brainstorm if necessary. Then adress them one by one. It helps to have a list of the categories, perhaps according to regulations. Thus (by no means exhaustive):
Manual handling.
Food processing, manufacture, preparation and handling.
Radiation, full cycle
Materials, full cycle, toxic hazards, waste.
Plant, full cycle
Fire
Emergency procedures
Contracts, visitors, public
Buildings, offices, accomodation, storage, lighting, sewerage. air quality, vermin etc.
Transport
Fuel, Power, Energy
Animals
Licensing, permits.
Some basic controls are to implement a system to ensure all hazards are detected and addressed. This involves detection, risk assessment, risk management and hazard elimination. Have a records system showing how this has been addressed. Some examples:
Review MSDS for all purchased materials to determine what hazards exist. With plant all applications of energy need to be analysed. Each field has its own specialisations, and I think it is experience and training over time that can make a system work effectively. The usual outcome for annual reports etc. is statistics on accidents and near misses.
Hi
visit the business link site as they offer this type of advice but for a starter…
1) talk to an accountant to decide if you should be ltd or sole trader – also for VAT registration (recommended)
2) develop a business plan identifying markets and products/ services
3) source public and professional indemnity insurance
4) develop a web strategy for marketing and self promotion
5) write articles to get yourself known in the market
etc…
loads more ideas but all the above needs to be done first…
use tools Like SWOT and PESTLE to help position yourself
good luck
Yes its dangerous, but they're in a war zone, so what do you expect? They should hopefully know what they're doing out there, and hopefully they're being paid a decent amount of money for it.
cant beat it man lmaoooo
