I guess Death by Chocolate would have worked better... but besides the somehwat commical irony to an unfortunate situation designed for a distraction, I was also sorta leaning towards a bit of attention to work place accidents and training.
A huge campaign over the last few years where I live has been bombarding the tv and news papers for people to make sure they are aware of their WHMIS and OHS
Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System Occupational Health and Safety
^ For those not in Canada and may use other forms of safety training.
Way too many people, mostly new/young workers die each year from work place accidents and improper training.
Apparently between 1993-2005, on average 5 people a day died from workplace accidents such as the above, accross Canada.

According to data collected by the Association of Workers’ Compensation Boards of Canada, 1,097 workplace fatalities were recorded in Canada in 2005, up 45 per cent from 758 in 1993 and 18 per cent from 958 in 2004. As Canadians work on average 230 days per year, this means that there were nearly five work-related deaths per working day in this country. Workplace fatalities, unlike death in general, are in principle avoidable. Thus any workplace death should be unacceptable. It is therefore a matter of grave concern that the number of workplace fatalities in this country is increasing, not falling......
