Anyone have any eye catching ideas for things to put on a new EHS notice board.

How about -

"Bill Posters will be prosecuted" ----- only joking.

Policies

Insurance details

Newsletters

External news items which may affect your business

Areas were you may have Health and Safety push E.G. PPE month

Names of First Aiders + Fire Wardens/Marshals

Details of good practices observed in a given period

EHS Competitions

Meetings schedule - EHS

Accident stats

Empoyee of the month

These are just a few, I am sure that others may offer different suggestions.

Hope this helps.


Regards




David B

What ever you do put up – I suggest you make sure the notices stay there for only a few days or a week at the most or they will cease to be eye catching and become part of the wallpaper. Your notices need to make an impact and once they have done that – it only takes a few days at the most – take them down and replace them by something else. Photos of things which have gone wrong elsewhere often attract attention and get people to your notice board where they may then stay and actually read some of your notices! These pics from the US are all over the web now but some may not have seen them

and subsequent pages.
But again, I suggest they stay up only for a few days and are replaced.

A few years ago I came across a notice board on one of our sites with a notice announcing that the COSHH regulations had just been passed into law......and at another site there was a copy of the The Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act 1963 pinned to a notice board. It was probably a good idea at the time they were put up.......

John, another tip about maintaining the board. Make up a big red arrow from card or similar and print "new item" on it, then use it to highlight new stuff.
Also clearly separate areas of the board so that you can contain some of the long term stuff (e.g. ELI certificate) from the changing stuff. (e.g. monthly performance, safety audit results)
We put boards in areas of the factory that become the property of the team working in that area. They choose what goes on most of the board. They put up what they think is important H&S info. Examples I have seen include their feelings about accidents in their area, responses to central safety campaigns, hazard lists, safety actions/progress etc, local cartoons/jokes similar those usually seen around factories on other less "safe" issues.
