A British tabloid newspaper has reported staff at the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) have been given instructions on how to walk through a door.
British paper The Sun, reported that workers at the global broadcaster's offices in Birmingham in central England had been issued with a memo advising them on how to get through a revolving door.
The newspaper reports an email sent to 800 staff, complete with matchstick man diagrams for ease of understanding, comes after one worker trapped her foot in the new doors at the BBC's offices in Britain's second city, cracking a toenail.
"Follow these simple steps each time you use the doors," says the memo entitled Revolving Security Door User Instructions.
"To enter the secure space move directly into the revolving door compartment. The door will start automatically. One person per compartment. Keep hands, feet and bags away from the edges of the door."
"We are keeping in line with the Health and Safety at Work Act," a BBC spokesman told The Sun.
Employees at BBC Radio Sheffield in the north of England had previously been instructed on how to boil a kettle.
The newspaper quoted the edict as saying: "Remove lid from kettle and fill kettle with water."
