Safety Bulletins Topics

Safety bulletins and briefs are an outstanding way to keep employees "in the know" about their responsibility for the safety, health, and welfare of themselves and those with whom they work. There are a wealth of topics you can cover from an office environment to a high-volume industrial facility and everything in between.

  1. Safety Bulletins

    • You can communicate safety bulletins and briefs in several ways. Post a one-page brief on a highly visible bulletin board. Your bulletin board should be in a central location where the maximum amount of employee traffic best guarantees high exposure. Memos and short employee huddles are other ways to communicate safety bulletins.

    Accident Prevention Bulletin

    • Your accident prevention bulletin is a catch-all that describes the cost to the employees and company when workplace safety is compromised. The bulletin describes, in easy math figures, how many sales dollars it takes to recoup even a small loss due to a workplace accident. For instance, a profit margin of 5 percent will require a $10,000 sale to offset a loss of a $500 workplace accident.

    Bloodborne Pathogens Bulletin

    • Cuts, scrapes and other workplace injuries are common in an industrial environment. If your employees are not well-versed in understanding how to appropriately manage an exposure to blood, there may be a risk of infection with diseases such as Hepatitis B (HBV) or Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Your bulletin will describe the necessary precautions employees must take to protect themselves.

    Driver Safety Basics Bulletin

    • On-the-road salespeople are critical to safety, too. You can offer them a host of bulletins on driver safety basics, defensive driving techniques, and regular reminders about the risks associated with drinking and driving.

    Emergency Action Bulletins

    • You should include amongst your wealth of safety briefs a guideline for actions employees take when an emergency situation presents itself. Maps showing escape routes and fire exits should be part of any emergency actions bulletins. You should support these bulletins with regular fire drills.

    Personal Protective Equipment Bulletins

    • In your manufacturing environment, safety bulletins are best posted at the locations where employees work. Your bulletins will detail the types of tools and the associated personal protective equipment required to perform their tasks safely.
