Improving Workplace Safety With Effective Hazard Communication

What is the best place to warn people about a hazard?

In a training class, long before they get near the hazard.  Effective, comprehensive and regular safety training is foundational for workplace safety.

But people forget.  People get into habits.  Things in the workplace change.  People get complacent.  And then an accident happens.

OSHA requires hazards to be marked with labels or signs.  It's easy to buy a bunch of generic safety signs and put them up wherever there is a hazard.  But there all the same and some will eventually fade into the background of the everyday workplace.  The most effective safety signs are those that provide specific information about the hazard.  The closer the safety sign is related to the hazard, the more effective the safety sign will be.

A sign that says, "Danger. Keep Away" delivers the message.

A sign that says, "Danger. 11000 Volts. Keep Away" delivers the message ad instills some fear.  This really is something to keep away from.
