841 Program Promotion
The purpose of the Safety Awareness Program is to promote interest,
increase safety awareness, and gain acceptance of safe work practices. The
aim is to secure maximum employee participation through the effective use of
media and individual or group recognition. The cooperation of the local safety
and health committee in the promotion of safety is to be encouraged.
Effective promotional programs must be based on a thorough study of local
needs. Accurate planning and analysis are essential to achieve program
objectives.
Districts, plants, and other installations should procure or develop and
distribute posters, publications, films, bulletins, pamphlets, newsletters,
displays, etc., based on current and projected accident trends. The display of
safety posters distributed by Headquarters must be kept current. Budgeting
for safety promotional needs must be included in program planning.
