Posted By Vicky Smith Hi What type of business are you having to present to? Warehouse office shop have a great xmas good to see someone else is working

Posted By Safety110 Some one suggested doing it naked, that would beat the slow drawn out process..only joking.. I can see what you want but the next stage is really a video, problem you have is that they come expensive if they are site specific. What about a cartoon based PowerPoint with short fun (YouTube type) clips. What about name and shame game, guess who can identify themselves or their workstations etc being in an unsafe or untidy state, break the class room into sections with a prize. What about a case study where you get interaction? There are a multitude of things but I think PowerPoint is the best format for the financial side of things. Safety110

Posted By John Johnston Hey Brenda, I have a similar slot with our induction day as well as our usual HSE induction. I play a game with the group... I have a presentation starting off with one or two slides highlighting how people's perceptions of risk can vary dramatically between us all, and I show the usual accident ratio triangle amongst other specific company items. Then I show photos from our workplace taken over the years of unsafe conditions (oil and gas industry), it then moves on to photos from around the world (mostly taken from www.safetyphoto.co.uk). Finally, I show photos from everyday situations, including an event from my own window into my street! The point I make at the very beginning is that I don't want people to 'spot the hazards', that's the easy bit. Rather, I want people to tell me what should somebody have done to prevent the unsafe condition in the first place. At what moment should somebody say "wait a minute, there may be a safer way to do this". We call it having a 'safety moment', something adopted from one of our largest customers. I split the group into two teams, team Health and team Safety. For each correct answer (and there are usually many correct answers) shouted out from the teams, they get one piece of fruit for the team. I always have enough fruit for at least one piece each. Then, once all the fruit is gone, we start on the tin of Quality Street sweets as a prize for a correct answer (we H&S bods need some kind of vice after all!). The aim of the session is to get people thinking about that moment before they carry out an unsafe act, or before they create an unsafe condition, whether it be at work or at home. It's all carried off as a bit of comedy, but the message is clear and the session is memorable with positive feedback every time. Not even a mention of H&S law or company policy throughout the session. I hope this helps even though we are in different industry sectors. John
