Safety newsletters: who reads these things?

Article Abstract:

Safety newsletters are vital not only in safety education but also in promoting camaraderie in the workplace. Therefore, it is important that these publications be conceived in a manner with which workers would be encouraged to read them. An editorial calendar is important in organizing a line of topics that would be of interest and valuable to the readers. Newsletters can be made attractive by using cartoons, photographs, and high-quality paper. Furthermore, articles, whether they are published on paper or corporate Web sites, must be brief considering the workers' time.
