Tonight, the final episode of the TV series Breaking Bad airs.
As we like to do from time to time, we take a break from writing about serious safety issues such as preventing fatalities, learning teams, incident investigations, leading indicators, safety training, and online safety training and use a seasonal event or something in pop culture to enjoy a safety yuk or two.
In this article, the laughs are on, or compliments of, Walt and his crew from Breaking Bad. Hope you enjoy this one, and if you do, feel free to check out some of our other humor-based safety articles, such as those listed below:

And don’t forget to download the free guide at the bottom of this article, too. It’s about how to perform a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), which is helpful if you’re in safety, but is also funny, because Walt definitely ran into his own share of hazards on the job, no? Ha! J-HA! Sorry–a groaner there. 🙁
