NBC's "The Office" Spoofs Workplace Safety and Red Cross Training

But Seriously...

Millions of people tuned in to see the Cardinals and Steelers play in the Superbowl the other night — but did you stay tuned afterwards to see "The Office?"  We've been laughing hysterically at the Red Cross humor in this episode!

Living out his role as Dunder Mifflin's "Safety Officer," Dwight takes a fire drill to a whole new level by setting a fire in a trash can. As the employees try to escape, Dwight does shout the right things, such as "Fire! Stay calm!" but the drill clearly doesn't go so smoothly. Watch this clip:

The stress of trying to escape the fire causes Stanley to suffer a heart attack. Poor Stanley is lucky to survive the ineptitude of his co-workers when it comes to this kind of emergency! In real life, having some office-mates who are trained in CPR and First Aid can be vital, and having an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) on site is even better. (Such saves have happened here in Tucson - check out the stories of our Real Heroes.)

Michael did the right thing by bringing in the Red Cross to train his people. Too bad Dwight sought fit to slash up the mannikin with a knife.

Speaking of defibrillators, watch this hilarious deleted scene where Michael tries to pull pranks with an Automated External Defibrillator. We do not recommend using it this way!
