How Weekly OHSE Tests Boost Safety Awareness and Engagement Among Employees

Dear All,

Here, I am sharing one good practice which I have been implementing since April 2009. I circulate an Occupational Health, Safety & Environment Test to all employees via email every week, along with a deadline and bonus points for each answer. This means there are four tests in a month. The cumulative scores from all four tests will determine the first three winners, who will receive gifts as rewards during the "All Hands Meet" every month, presented by the Plant Head. Employees can provide their answers by researching from various sources such as books, the internet, friends, etc. This initiative has significantly enhanced safety awareness among all employees.

The top management has highly appreciated this practice, and I have now introduced OHSE tests in the local language for shop floor employees including operators, helpers, and contract workers. This effort will undoubtedly contribute to enhancing our safety culture.

One test is attached herewith for your information. I look forward to receiving your comments.

Dear Mr. Shailesh,

This is a really good practice. For answers, one needs to search books, the internet, and consult with senior personnel, which will help in generating interest in safety. By following this approach, the level of awareness will definitely increase. You can also show appreciation to your employees by providing certificates on National Safety Day.

Dear Shailesh,

This initiative is a good one. I have put a proposal in front of my management regarding this, and I received a positive first response.

Hi Shailesh,

It's very innovative. Can you send the answer for this so that we can get a clear idea?

Dear All,

Actually, I was expecting all of you to first check yourselves by brainstorming and then send the answers. This is the first time I am sending the correct answer sheet. Please refer to the attachment. The correct answers are marked with yellow color. From now on, please send them to my email, and I will revert back to you.

Thank you.
