Brainy engineering graduates are being warned not to use their MOBILE PHONES while walking down the stairs in new posters plastered around the department. The new health and safety posters feature a red banner saying “Don’t Get Distracted” then show a photo of a man holding his phone, who has fallen down the stairs.
The smart students are warned to “ Pay Attention When Walking Down The Stairs.” The poster then adds: “Heads Up, Phones Down. Don’t be the next accident. Thank you for not using your phone.”
It then gives students a link and QR code for a website to report any “accidents” or “near misses” on the stairs.
Locals have commented on the posters, with Sarah Williams saying:“I love how members of the University of Cambridge obviously can't be trusted to use stairs (well at least without guidance).”
Whilst Carrie Webb added: “Yet still holding their phone after neatly sliding down the whole staircase on their face it would seem!” J
ulie Hogg said: “This makes me laugh whoever I’m heading up and down the stairs in the department (without my phone obviously).”
