Safety Education
Safety: Free from danger; not involving risk or loss; not likely to cause or do harm or injury.
Education: The development and training of one's mind, character, skills, etc., as by instruction, study, or example.
The Safety Education program is an eight-week program focusing on safety in the workplace. The goal of the program is to encourage employees to make safety and health a priority in their daily lives. The program emphasizes short, but frequent, exposure to safety information through unique delivery strategies.
Program components include:
| Safety Talks | 15-Minute information session on various topics. |
| B-Safe Bingo | Improves safety on the job and helps to reduce worker's compensation. |
| Posters | Safety and health posters displayed in various places around the department. |
| Flyers | Weekly flyers distributed on safety and health topics; corresponds with the safety talk for that week. |
| Injury Tracker | Your parts are irreplaceable! Understanding injury protects you from potential injuries in the future. The Injury Tracker is a life-size poster where employees track injuries in their department by placing "injury stickers" on the corresponding injured body part. |
| Hazard Reporting | The Hazard Reporting box will be placed in the department for employees to report hazards in the work area. |
| Puzzles and Games | Making safety fun. |
