Dealing with legislation, ACoP's, 'opinions', corporate politics, misinformation and individual agendas it's no wonder H&S makes your head explode!
Think about your audience. We should all be doing our level best to KEEP IT SIMPLE.
I'll start the ball rolling: Using photos in risk assessments is a cracking idea on so many levels. It doesn't cost a penny, can save you a heap of text and is great for eliminating confusion.
You all have good ideas that maybe none of us have even thought about, so don't by shy...what have you got?

Dear All,
Simple pieces of advice;
(1) Engage mind before mouth!
(2) Identify problem before offering solutions!
(3) Remember the abcd of communicating:
(A) Address the recipient's needs;
(B) Be brief, but be clear - don't waffle it wastes time and causes confusion;
(C) Be correct - state your assumptions and check your facts;
(D) Direct your answer to solving the problem or question.
Regards Adrian
PS.
Read widely and prosper.
Book of the week - "The unwritten laws of business" W.J. King. This book provides good, simple advice on how to succeed as a manager and advisor. I wish I had read it 30 years ago!

Process mapping is the thing for me.
I picked it up from a Quality guy at my last company and I'm trying to introduce it at the company I'm now working for. Use it to replace all those long wordy procedures with simple, easy to understand flow charts.

Mind-maps are the perfect tool for the creation of wonderful, individual and truly useful images. As an adult student doing my MSc, I have used mind mapping to plan my revision and develop my learning; At work Mind-maps helps me with organising, planning and presenting positions to staff. Mind mapping is a wonderful tool for opening the capabilities of the mind and allowing natural relationships between notions to be expressed in a practical, flowing way that itself develops the entire process. It is non-confining and free-structured, just as thought is in the brain and can be moulded to fit almost any situation. The use of mind-maps is an especially good way for employees to cogitate, learn and hopefully commit to memory what we desire them to take forward in practice in the work environment..."
Plenty of examples on my website, anyone wishing to see them email me and I will forward you the link?

I've been doing a monthly H&S Guidance Note for managers (and on the intranet for anyone else in the company who's interested): Each month I pick a subject that I've had a few questions about, and produce an A4 sheet translating legal requirements and company policy into English. It's busted a few myths and people generally find it helpful.

Ask them what they do now or would to have.
Usually they know the answer themselves but haven't really applied it before or had the resources/back-up.
