slogan. Banners can be one of several ways to do that. If you are looking for some banner

2. Do Safety Banners Help Prevent Accidents?
by Alan B Sudfeld
Safety banners with memorable sayings do work, kind of like the words of a song that
you find yourself repeating. Safety banners remind employees that taking that extra
second to think about what they are doing prior to doing it, can prevent a catastrophic
outcome. Whenever I use power saws, I'm reminded of our safety slogan "10 Fingers,
10 Toes. Without Safety Who Knows?" Yes it's a silly little saying, but it always comes to
mind with a sharp metal blade spinning at 1000 rpm a few inches away. The number
one cause of accidents is complacency. If you work high up on a ladder, your major
concern is being too comfortable with your surroundings and forgetting that you are 20
ft. off the ground. Or if you are operating a punch press, getting too comfortable with a
20 ton press inches from your hands. Safety awareness banners help break that
complacency, they are a constant reminder of what you have at risk and the effects on
your co-workers, family and friends.
I mentioned to my retired neighbor that I was working with a company that makes safety
awareness banners. He had a suggestion for a banner he thought we could use " Keep
Horseplay In the Corral" with an image of hoses in a fenced corral. I thought is was
funny, I asked him where he got it from. It was from a banner that they had hanging in
his workplace over 30 years ago. A simple safety banner must have had an impact if he
remembered something he read 30+ years ago. How many things have you read and
will remember 30 years from now? I didn't ask but, I'm fairly certain, he wouldn't
remembered a page from a safety manual 30 years later
People remember visually images better than written text. Did you ever read a book on
improving memory retention? Almost all recommend that you take a name, place, etc
and make it into an unforgettable visual image. For example if you ran into a man
named Sam with a dog named pepper in the city of Houston in July, you could create a
visual image of Uncle Sam wearing a cowboy hat peppering a hot dog. That single
image providing clues to aid in your recall of events. The same with safety awareness
banners, we use simple visual images to reinforce safety themes. For example: To
reinforce the idea that taking chances, even ones with remote chances of bad
outcomes, will eventually have your luck "run out"; we use an image of dice and the
safety slogan "Don't Gamble With Safety".
A "catchy" safety slogan, with related graphic work together to create a memorable
safety awareness banner. A banner that is sure to enhance safety and break
complacency in the workplace.

One tip that is not included in this article is once you have a slogan and make the banners have
all employees sign it to show committment. Step 1 is developing the program, step 2 is
implementing and communicating it and step 3 is making it sustainable over several years.
Thinking about all three when you develop your program.
Great article – great information !
