Why fun safety messages work

Article Abstract:

The adoption of safety standards can only be made more effective if employers make these measures comprehensible to their workers. Usually this can be done by arranging meetings, shows and conferences with employees. It is crucial for employers to maintain a consistent communication and foster good relations with their employees. When discussing safety issues, employers need not talk in a formal manner, but instead, encourage workers to participate aggressively in the discussion.
