Awareness Materials
Get Wise to Keeping Quiet
Help build a positive safety culture and reduce work-related injuries and illness by using the below Work Wisely program poster, table tent and digital image.
The message reminds employees to avoid the safety villain of keeping quiet. Employees are encouraged to ask:
- About processes and procedures for doing their work safely.
- For assistance when needed.
- Questions about fit and use of personal protective equipment.
Place posters near workstations and high-traffic areas around the office, such as next to coffee pots, water stations and refrigerators.
MCIT members can request to have printed Work Wisely materials sent to them.
The table tent is great for an eye-catching reminder at employees’ desks or displayed in other high-visibility areas, such as workbenches and tables, and break areas.
The digital (jpeg) image file can be used anywhere you can insert an image, such as on the employee intranet, emails, employee newsletter, computer lock screen.
