Enhancing Workplace Safety with Strategic Screen Use

Health and safety content is one of the key use cases for screens in manufacturing. We are always trying to prevent slips, trips and falls. They affect productivity. But more importantly, we want a safe working environment, not just for the employees, but we have to consider their families as well. A poor health and safety record is a huge risk for a big employer. So screens do play a role here. One of the things I like about using signage in that environment is that we know that when the person sees the screen, where they actually are. Giving the right message just before they go out on shift is more likely to influence behaviour than sending them an email or a notification when you don't know where they'll be. We can also make the messaging very location specific. This will make it more relevant, more memorable and may just change a small piece of behaviour when people go out and consider taking a shortcut just to try and get something done a bit faster. ScreenCloud also integrates with all major emergency alert systems. So whether that be extreme weather or fire or gas leaks or anything else, we can immediately take over all of those screens and guide people back to safety. There's also a lot of subtle psychology you can use in your health and safety messaging. If you can make your message rhyme, it will be more memorable. And if you're talking about wearing a hard hat, show a picture of someone in the hard hat. It's a bit more suggestive. There's lots of tips and tricks that we can help you with.
