INDUSTRIAL and WORKPLACE SAFETY SLOGANS AND SAFETY MESSAGES:

A big thank you to all of our readers who have contributed some excellent safety slogans in the comments section at the bottom of this page.

Whilst safety slogans can be a simple awareness tool, they should be used with caution due to the unconscious messages they can send – read this article to find out more: Safety is a choice you make

Here is another article on the ineffectiveness of safety slogans in the workplace which may make you think twice about using them: Sayings, slogans and aphorisms .

Do you think there are better ways of communicating safety than by using safety slogans?. Think about having meaningful conversations with people and working with them on improving culture – that is much more effective than posting safety slogans everywhere. Please think about the unconscious messages you are sending when relying on this form of communication and awareness. Would you put these safety slogans up at home to remind your loved ones how to think or behave?

If you are still convinced that slogans for safety are a good idea then please read this article by Phil La Duke: Safety Slogans Don’t Save Lives – it will definitely change your mind!

SAFETY SLOGAN IDEAS FROM THE UK

This UK Company, Clarke’s Safety Mirrors, sells mirrors with safety slogans and safety messages printed on then i.e. “This is the person responsible for your safety”. This is a very old idea and I’m not sure how effective it would really be. What hidden messages do you think it may be sending? How would you really feel if you encountered one of these??? I just ignore it!

 ROAD SAFETY SIGNS AND SLOGANS

ADOT Safety-Sign Contest

A little more than a year ago it all started with peas-in-guac reference. Now those safety slogans on signs above Arizona highways will be written by one clever Arizonan — if only for a short time.

ADOT has gained a reputation for attention-grabbing safety messages on its electronic message boards that are aimed at sparking conversations and changing driver behavior.
This year, we’ve posted about 30 targeted messages, sharing everything from “Designated drivers make the best New Year’s dates” to “Aggressive drivers belong on an island of misfit toys.”

The Arizona Department of Transportation is hosting a contest starting Monday for you submit your own. See my entry >>>>>>

“We see suggestions all the time on social media when we post the messages to Twitter and Facebook. So, we kind of wanted to create a contest where people can submit their own safety messages,” Pacey said.

ADOT will take submissions for two weeks on their website. Then, they’ll choose the best 15. From there, the public gets to vote on their favorite which will be on signs across the state for two days in April.

What is a Safety Spud? Lets look at a few more spud head activities in risk and safety: 1. Coming on to site saying there is a safety issue when in fact there’s no such thing, it’s a political issue. 2. ‘Falling apart’ when people make choices that we think are stupid because they won’t do as we ‘tell’ them. Then we put on the angry face and think that overpowering others creates ownership. 3. Putting on the zero harm face, presenting statistics, knowing it has nothing to do with culture, risk or safety. 4. Putting on the superman (hazardman) suit and pretending to be the saviour of everything, this is good spud head cynic stuff. 5. Thinking that everyone else is a spud head except me. 6. Thinking there’s such a thing as ‘common’ sense and using such mythology to blame and label others. 7. Accepting safety policies and processes that dehumanize others. 8. Blaming, ego-seeking, grandstanding and territory protecting behind the mask of safety. 9. Thinking that risk and safety is simple when in fact it is a wicked problem. Denying complexity and putting your spud head in the sand. 10. Continually repeating the nonsense language and discourse of risk aversion that misdirect people about risk, safety, learning and imagination.
