Arbetsmiljoverket

Just as you might be getting your IKEA tea lights out to make Christmas glimma, a foray (for your own good, you understand) into Swedish Health and Safety.



I think this is what the first few mean. Please add comments for the others...


Do not allow your candle to talk to R2-D2 on a sunny day...


Be careful if using your teapot for archery practice...

Don't vomit on your candle before extinguishing it...

Don't use candles as big as your chair, or you may disappear...

Do not allow your child to kiss pets by candlelight...

  1. I have a GCSE in Swedish safety picture and this is what they mean, well the last three, we didn't do the first two - they were A-level!


    Keep a small ruler between the candles at all times.

    Don't put candles near a window in a dolls house.

    Don't put candles near a smelly book.

  2. I belive picture four is:

    Don't buy candles from Ikea. They may make you fit curtains which are too short for your windows, and pelmets - who has those these days?

  3. Oops. Apologies to anyone reading this who actually has pelmets . . .

  4. Thanks for suggestions. Any more are welcome. Particularly as I can't actually work out what the very first one - the R2D2 one - is really supposed to mean.

  5. Do not use your candles to shoot people and make sure candles are exactly 3cm apart for maximum hirdygirdyjulejulesvenskcrimbo effect

  6. I've done some research and can reliably inform you that the last one is: 'Always clip back your comb-over when reading by candlelight.'
