The Challenges
Most of your people already know what they need to do to stay safe.
Since the introduction of the Health & Safety at Work Act over thirty
years ago, employees and contractors have had a responsibility to work
safely, follow safe working procedures, wear appropriate PPE and look
out for their own safety and that of others on site.
Many have sat through numerous site
safety induction presentations,
especially if they are travelling contractors, service or facilities
management personnel.
The challenge is engage your audience (even though they think they know
it all), get them to focus on the safety issues and then follow your
safe working procedures.
Approaches which our clients have found effective include:
Key Safe Behaviours: identify a few areas where you can make the
greatest impact and focus on those. Promote the relevant Key Safe
Behaviour through video, toolbox talks, posters and newsletters.
Getting Employees to Tell the Story: we tightly intercut a series
of interviews with actual employees and contractors of all grades to
explore particular issues and promote safe working practices. This
has great credibility, because we show real people talking about real
life.
Senior Management: the CEO or
other director delivers a brief message to camera to emphasise that
health and safety matter
The Aftermath: show the effects
that an accident can have not just on the employee but also on his
family. We did this very effectively some years ago in a
production for the CITB called "Falling isn't funny".
Flexible Modular Approach: give
the video DVD or CD-ROM a menu-based structure, so that you can
either Play All or play one short clip to illustrate a toolbox talk.
Another possibility is a Safety Passport system for people
who work on a number of sites and have to sit through numerous site
safety inductions: once a year they do the full safety induction,
then their safety passport is date stamped so that they only need
brief inductions on local site issues until the following year.
Interactivity: involve the
audience by setting quizzes. Both video DVD and multimedia
CD-ROM / online e-learning can be interactive. CD-ROM and
e-learning can record participation and test scores in a database.
They can also provide a risk assessment function, for example for
VDU safety.
