It's the final day of Health and Safety Week today, and with the focus being "Inspiring excellence in the profession" we thought we'd provide you with a last minute suggestion on how you can boost health and safety engagement in your workplace.
There are a number of ways to improve health and safety engagement, from rewarding workers for their initiative, organising a health and safety presentation to be delivered by your employees or including your staff when you're carrying out health and safety measures, but one of our favourite methods is a good, old, classic quiz. There are bound to be plenty of safety signs and hazard notices placed all over your workplace, but do the workers using these premises actually take note of them and understand what they mean? To find out, you can organise a quiz which includes all the signs and notices in the building - for each correct symbol, the employee gains a point. To encourage your employees to scrub up on their health and safety knowledge even more, you could provide the top-scoring employee with a prize!
To give you a rough idea of what your quizzes should look like, we've taken it upon ourselves to get the ball rolling and provide you with an example below. Set your employees weekly tests to do and in no time they'll be health and safety experts!
