Safety slogans have been instrumental in assisting the general public to abide by safety rules.  Slogans my generation will never forget include: “Only you can prevent forest fires,” “Stranger Danger,” and “Just say no (to drugs)”.  My childhood safety slogans will stay ingrained in my head forever, and similar safety slogans in the workplace can help underline your safety prevention procedures.  Employees may complain about “silly” or “cheesy” safety slogans, but they have proven helpful in deterring unsafe practices.

Introducing Safety Slogans to Employees 

Some areas in your workplace may consistently prove to be dangerous because of employee carelessness or unsafe shortcuts.  In these cases, a safety slogan my help your employees remember to follow safety protocols.  For example, introducing a safety slogan like, “Safety glasses – all in favor, say EYE”, could help your employees remember to wear safety goggles in a designated area.

Introducing this new slogan is most effective in conjunction with a safety meeting.  Combining a thorough meeting identifying the safety issue and introducing the one-line slogan will be more effective than just introducing the slogan.  After you introduce the slogan, post the slogan in the designated area.  This will remind employees about the entire safety meeting in one short, simple slogan.

These Free Safety slogans are available for you to download and use for support the poster designs, or for an in-house program, you are running to help keep your workplace incident and injury-free.
