Tips for Using Step Wisely Display Materials

  1. To keep the message fresh, use one topic for a few weeks then switch to another for a few weeks and so on.
  2. Mini fliers have a variety of uses. Be creative; try inserting them into payroll envelopes, sending via e-mail, placing on desks, distributing in employee mailboxes, handing out at meetings, posting to an intranet.
  3. Send e-mails every so often to staff to reinforce the messages on display materials.

Training Materials Support Awareness

Many of the Quick Take training scripts and the Slip, Trip and Fall Prevention Power Point presentation address year-round hazards that you can use to  train employees about safer habits.
