Help with teaching safety class?

O.K. I got to do a safety class for my job. I am a server at a chain restaurant and May is safety month for the business. To start out I have a batcher s in Fire Science and Public Safety. I do not have a job pertaining to my degree for two reasons. The current state of job employment in the country and post Air Force injuries. I got seriously hurt in Iraq, so I can no longer be a firefighter, but I got job offers for a safety coordinator. Anyways since I am part of the NFPA (National Fire Association Association) I've seen the report of deaths from lack of operational smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. It make me think of putting up a flyer on the bulletin board to check your smoke detectors at work, approved by my mangers. Well now I got the title âFire Marshal Billâ if anyone remembers that skit. Well I am the joke of the job so to say and now my managers put me in charge of the yearly safety meeting. Now I do not care what my co-workers say about me, I can take a joke as well as the next guy, but I do want to be taken seriously during the meeting.
First off my Dad died when I was ten when his house caught fire. His smoke detectors did not work and he died in his sleep from smoke inhalation. Also when I was a firefighter, I was a volunteer for two years before I joined the Air Force, I pulled a little girl out of a house that had a small fire. The house had smoke detectors, but now batteries in the device. The little girl and the mother died that night, getting the picture?
Well my class is on, you guessed it, fire safety at work and home. My place of employment tries to be proactive at work and home when it comes to safety, don't ask. Well did not tell my employees or my mangers about the above statements. This is a good opportunity for me to get some experience in teaching since the career I am pursuing will be teaching companies safety and injury prevention. The problem is that most of the co workers are young, 18, 19 year olds that do not want to come to this meeting. Don't get me wrong I like them all and do not get offended easily, but I do want them to âgetâ something out of this. At least have them check their smoke detectors, or get them installed.
Well should I do a power point presentation, video, Have sparky the dog come? The last one is a joke. Should I tell them my personal experiences? I don't want to be overly dramatic but get my point across. Oh, I did give my mangers a synopsis of what I am covering to make sure it is good with the layers, policies, etc. I just need some ideas to deliver the information with out looking stupid or boring. Please help and feel free to comment

P.S. If you got anything from the second paragraph: Check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Safety meetings are mandatory in most workplaces and your fellow workers need to shut up and listen and it will be as painless as possible. You should check with your boss and find out what NOT to do. also, you should say something about yourself if they are giving you a hard time about FM Bill, or you could play that up a little and show them you have a sense of humor.

I think slips and falls are important issues to cove in a restaurant.
You can always put in some info about home detectors at the end.

I think im being haunted? Help?

I am 14 so there isn't much I can do. I live in my basement (its really creepy down there :/) so I have a heater down there. Also a carbon monoxide detector. I have this cord that plugs all of it in and the switch keeps turning off by itself. I wake up in the middle of the night and i'd be on the ground. I always feel like something is touching my feet when im sleeping. The other day when me and my sister were getting ready for school all the lights in my house shut off for about 10 minutes no storm or anything. When i listen to music my headphones mysteriously pop out of my ipod. What is this and how can i make it go away :(? By the way this has been happening for about 2 weeks now. Oh and if it helps I believe in God? Thanks in advance.
btw i've lived in this basement for like 9 months and this JUST started so :/

Answer
It sounds your place is haunted. But if you want to be one hundred percent sure, then hook up a video camera or recorder and leave it recording over night or when ever the activity is usually very high. 

 my house is haunted by a poltergeist(a ghost that moves things) and several ghosts. I am a Christian so I don't believe ghosts are dead people but I do believe in them after all this stuff that has happened. 

When I was very little I always saw shadow people and shadows of black snake like things on the wall. I saw this huge white thing twice and I hear whispering right next to my ear ALOT. I rarely can understand what it is saying but the times I did it said my name, "I see" and "find me". Doors open and slam by themselves, a certain spot constantly gets hot to where my cheeks are beet red, the dogs stare and bark at nothing, stuff gets thrown at me, I feel like I am being watched, and sometimes in a certain room I feel like I need to get out! It has dragged me off of the couch, pinched me and pulled on my clothing. 

Here is one experience that I have had. 

I was on my lap top late at night. The doors to my parents and brothers rooms make a lot of noise when they open so I would have heard it if they did from where I was. But I didn't. And all of the sudden I heard really really heavy footsteps on the hallway. I started getting scared but tried to ignore it. Out of the corner of my eye I saw this HUGE shape of a person dressed in all black (with a hood) step out by the front door and just stand there, staring at me. I looked up and there was nothing there. I had seen it plain as day, even though it was out of the corner of my eye. But it was gone. All of the sudden something whispered my name RIGHT next to my ear and I even felt air moving against it. I screamed "WHOA!!" and turned around. Nothing there. I started screaming for my mom and started crying. That was only the FIRST time I heard whispering. Everyone in my house has experienced something, so it's not just me. 

As I got older I grew more curious as to what it might be. I left cameras in certain spots where a lot of things happened and I caught a few things. Here are some things I caught: 
Whispering 
Things falling over and moving by themselves
The lights turning on and off 
And once, I even caught a dark shadow quickly move past the camera, when no one had been there. 

If you catch anything I suggest that you pray. If it goes away it was a demon. If it doesn't it is just a ghost or poltergeist that wants to mess with you. That is why what is in my house does not go away. No supernatural being can hurt you if you have God on your side. It can try to scare you, but it can't hurt you. Just remember that.
