DIY safety campaign – tell us what you think!

[ACCC]

Nearly 50 Aussie men have died over the past decade after getting under their car which had been raised for DIY repair or maintenance work using a jack, ramp or stands.

That’s nearly five deaths a year, not counting the many other serious and often irreversible injuries people have suffered.

Australian governments are developing a joint campaign to raise awareness of the very real risks of death and serious injury when working under your car, and would like your feedback on some possible campaign slogans.

Suggested slogans are:

1. Don’t be a jackass with jacks
2. Don’t be a tool with jacks!
3. Don’t be a jerk with jacks!
4. Look before you lift!
5. Think before you lift!

Which one do YOU like better? Which message would make you think twice before using a jack to get under your car? Do you have other ideas?

Let us know what you think: either vote in the poll, reply to this post or email us psa@accc.gov.au

Thanks & stay safe!
