Each quarter we do a H & S quiz for our non-shift employees (mainly office staff), last year we used hazard spotting pictures. This year we wanted to do something a bit different, and it has been suggested that we use an incident scenario, where everyone is given the descrisption of an incident and from the information given would have to determine what has gone wrong and what might be the root cause.  Does anyone know if something like this is freely available, or is it a matter of writing one myself?

We did something similar in a previous role for Health and Safety Week with a former employer. We had volunteer staff in photos imitating accidents which may happen on site and got staff to work out what went wrong and how it could have been prevented, it wasn't classed as training but it certainly got people talking- and thinking how they would feel if they saw their colleague in that kind of situation.

Are there any H&S behaviours you would like to change, and let them debate that? Ie the recent debate on here over Hands free phones, split opinion strongly, but if nothing else made people think about it. Ie you could give them the basic info and see who can come up with the most arguments for / against or who has the most convincing argument (judged by the group). Just hide all sharp objects before :o)  If nothing else they may think twice about, do they really need to phone someone when they know they may be in a car.

You don’t have to use that, you could debate any contentious issue you may have in the office / workforce, and it will show that H&S decisions are not always easy or necessarily clear cut.
