The porcelain lady has arrived at Temple Newsam House, as a warning against work accidents.

'Shattered Lives' aims to change attitudes to the danger of slips, trips and falls, encouraging people to act if they see a hazard, rather than leaving it to be dealt with by someone else.
The campaign also emphasises the economic impact on the region of slips, trips and falls in the workplace through such costs as employee absence, sick pay and reduced productivity.
Temple Newsam is one of the great historic estates in England. The mansion, which is famous as the birthplace of Lord Darnley and was home to the Ingram family for over 300 years, houses rich collections of works of art.
