Safety training - be imaginative: Be lively, have some fun, use check lists and keep your safety message fresh to reduce accidents

摘要

At James Martin Associates in Vernon Hills, IL, a crew member "demonstrates" personal protective equipment (PPE) by putting his back brace on backward and wearing his safety glasses on the top of his head. The demonstration gets some laughs. It's followed by a discussion on the importance of wearing PPE correctly. At James River Grounds Management in Glen Allen, VA, workers are pulled aside on pay day and asked what the company's most recent tailgate safety session was about and what they learned from it so management can tell whether it was indeed held. And at KIRA Inc. in Miami, videos of "Primitive Pete" and other cartoon characters are used to make safety meetings both interactive and fun.
