There ya have it folks...
Holy cardboard cutouts batman,
creativity in workplace safety is no joke!
POW!
BANG!
BAM!
Creativity in workplace safety is more than just an interesting concept, it is an absolute essential, especially when at risk is a blue-collar workforce, especially when at risk is a blue-collar workforce with its own culture of values, beliefs and perceptions.
If a safety professional does not tap into the right channel of what they understand, any safety training/messaging will be reduced to words from Charlie Brownâs teacher, âwah, wah wah.â
Trust: The first perception of a safety supervisor is that of a âhired gun,â someone management has appointed to reduce workersâ compensation costs and/or comply with regulations. With this perception, a safety professional is no more than a door-to-door salesman, one whose sales pitch is nothing more than an act designed to sell something nobody really needs.
The first creative concept is for the safety supervisor to garner the trust of the workers, show them you care about them more than some directives or quotas.
Speak their language: Before you try to teach them anything learn how to speak in terms they understand. A good safety professional can go from the board room to the trenches and never miss a beat.
Entertain: The average American watches more than four hours of TV each day, programs that have one thing in common â to, get the viewerâs attention and hold it.
Thatâs far different than âinteresting as watching paint dryâ that characterizes many safety training programs.
And remember...
Entertain does not mean you must do a juggling act; safety instruction must start and end upbeat with drama in the middle; start with something humorous, a story or visual that distracts the worker audience from anything else on their mind, then tell a story that builds to a frightening climax, one that could occur in their workplace; now you really have their attention.
Remember, when they are with you they are not workers, they are people, men and women with hopes, dreams, and
a family they love and look forward to going home to at the
end of every workday â in essence, they are you. Relate to them as your family away from home and they will eventually notice; then, everything you have to say is received as caring communication.
