Public safety/information films

Anyone remember the gory public safety films from the 70s and 80s.
The one I remember has a boy playing on a building site only to fall down a trench and take his scalp off on a sheet of metal.I think there was another one set on a farm?

The one on the farm is called APACHES. Pretty grim it is too.

I recall one about electric shocks on rail lines, and a rather graphic one with harrowing music "The Grim Reaper" takes a life involving water a lake perhaps??

Could that be this one? Narrated by Donald Pleasence...

The one about fireworks anyone?The girl turns round rather creepily to reveal she's been blinded

And the one about water with the Grim Reaper in a cloak watching kids swimming in dangerous water.....Jesus,the stuff of nightmares.....

If PIF like these were shwn continually throughout the nineties,perhaps there wouldn't be so much neds/chavs on todays streets......

During the troubles they give us harrowing public info films of masked guys spraying inside a pub wih gunfire.
The effects were very realistic.
They made a about 3 I think, but that pub one sticks in my head. Very violent and graphic.

Is this really the place to boast about your big dick!!The little darlings where I live are less creative and tend to like smashing things up,mainly my fence.

That's why God invented hedges.

Sorry.
