Posted By halesowen Baggie I am starting a H&S quiz this month for all employees (office, warehouse, drivers) at my workplace. The idea is to get them thinking about health and safety at work. The prize is £50 per month to the winner. Has anybody done this before and what questions did you use? All employees can have access to my acops and guidance, and where necessary internet access.

Posted By Thomas Kennedy We bought a book with cd called Health and Safety Games for Trainers by Graham Robert- Phelps - Gower Publishers 2001. We've used it for competetions too. Sets out good examples of true/false quizzes; crossword; word search puzzles etc.

Posted By Lilian McCartney I did this before and it went well - unfortunately don't have a copy now. We had some 'funny' answers in out multiple choice questions which we made up from the accdeint forms so they woulkd be relevant (wihtout details of course). An example would be: What would you do if you found a trailing cable across the corridor? a) Tell your friend in the pub that night? b) Find where it came from and advise them it's a tripping hazard? c) tell your Line Manager? we did have one entry from a MR Bean who picked all of the completely wrong answers - they didn't get the prize. The book mentioned above is good for training course excerises as well

Posted By corinne I think the best way forward for you is to get your employees involved in a hazard spotting exercise within the workplace. I would make up a 'suggestion' box that people can submit any spotted hazards - but the sting in the tail is that your employees must be proactive and come up with reasonable solutions to minimise the risk of the hazard identified. I would allow persons to submit as many entries as they wish. You could then award £50 to the best answer and list the top 10. This gets people to think about their actual workplace rather than a fictitious one! They also start to take ownership for health and safety on your site (hopefully). Hope this is useful!

Posted By corinne I must admit I like Mervs idea of getting departments or teams to hand in their most dangerous tools! Very imaginative - a kind of 'tool amnesty.' Maybe if you have enough suggestions you could run a different campaign each month! Corinne
