The Power of Safety Slogans

Slogans are a great way to remind people of short pieces of information or to reinforce learning.

Large companies know this which is why every company has a short but catchy slogan.  The average person is exposed to them all the time.  They work best when they are repeated to people often.  This can be through radio, TV or print ads.

If you are asked for the slogan for a popular hamburger restaurant you probably can say the slogan and even sing the music since you are exposed to it so often.  Even if you do not eat there.

Since most companies do not broadcast messages through their staff through radio or TV they have to rely on other media to get their message across.  This can be done through t-shirts, banners, posters, coffee mugs or company newsletters.

The more times they hear the message the more it will sink in.

A workplace safety poster with bright graphics and a short message will work well in most organizations. Put it in a place where people will see it frequently and the message will get across.

Give it to them on a free t-shirt that they can wear to work and even more people will wear it. People love to get free stuff. People pay high prices to wear the slogans of their favorite sport wear companies so they will be happy to get your safety slogan t-shirt for free.

But what to put as a safety slogan? It has to be short and catchy, but it also has to be relevant to your workplace. It will not be helpful to have something about radiation or confined spaces if you do not have that concern at your workplace. Rhymes or acronyms are also a good way to get people to remember the slogan. If it is funny people will share and talk about the slogan as well.

Here are some examples to get you started.
