Posted By Gus My experience of 'safety weeks' & 'safety days' is that they are often a top down initiative- nothing wrong in that,as long as your expectations are clear, but you may find real worker engagment pretty sparse/ begrudging Why not try engaging the workforce and their reps before the event For some great ideas on participation etc.... try: www.osh.dol.govt.nz/orde...atalogue/pdf/b-ideas.pdf Good luck

Posted By Wicklow1 Thanks Gus, will try and avoid it becoming a top down initiative, loses its objective that way although with time availability in organising the various aspects I can see how it could lean that way. Will keep this in mind. aodhan
