Isn't it great when you've got a 2 yr old you get to watch all the great shows such as Thomas the Tank, Wiggles and the like but Bob the Builder has taken the cake as the safety menace of the kids shows.
I often wondered where those farmers got their entrenched practices of letting kids ride on the guards of the tractors, or those loader operators and the entrenched practices of having people around the operations.
It comes from Bob the Builder!
Yep all the people including Bob ride around on the guards of tractors, loaders, trucks and the like!
This sort of show is totally counteractive to developing a safety culture in our workplaces, which include farming.
Bob the Builder entrenches unsafe behaviour in our kids before they are even old enough to explain it is wrong.
No wonder those farmers are so hard to convince it is unsafe to let children ride with them! Farmers never grow up! lol
But the serious point is the amount of children that are run over by their parents, grand parents becuase they are riding on equipment with children! The worst I seen was a 7 year old girl run over by a slasher operated by her father, there were pieces of her all over the paddock and caught up on the fences!
Bob the Builder should be banned or redesigned to show safe operation of machinery and equipment!
As it is it has a negative educational impact teaching unsafe behaviour and the only reason it is on T.V. is to make someone money at the cost of health and safety of not only the young but those that never grow mentally.
