If you've ever been through an OSHA audit at your workplace, I feel your pain. I've been there. One of the many things they evaluate, including your various safety procedures and guidelines, is how you're communicating health and safety information to your employees. "Are you keeping employees aware of potential hazards and issues?" That sort of thing.
Companies are "required" by law to put up various posters and fliers that are often times 5-10 years out of date and include aged photos and clip art. Plus, cheesy headlines like mine above are the centerpiece.
The problem is that they become such a part of the environment that employees stop noticing. Nothing changes and nothing is up to date. Health and safety communication should be much more than just a "check in the box" because you're really talking about life and death in some cases.
If you currently use a digital signage network for employee communications, are you pumping it with various health and safety messages? If not, you're missing out. Again, it's much more than just an audit victory. You're delivering vital, up-to-date information right where employees work.
And you can get much more creative about it than just static messages. Have employees create videos demonstrating proper safety behavior. Get them involved in the act and employees will be much more likely to watch and take notice. Make them the stars!
Continental Airlines is a MediaTile customer and they use their digital signs to deliver a considerable amount of health and safety information. And, better yet, they have data to support it. Since installing the network, they've seen a 30% reduction in safety incidents.
30%! That's huge! This data means more and more employees are now safer in the workplace and are returning home to their families.
There's simply no dollar figure or investment greater than one that keeps employees safe and healthy.
