How Pictorial SOPs Enhance Safety Understanding Among Workers – Share Your Examples

Pictorial Information for Better Understanding

Often, pictorial information is better understood. The National Safety Council's safety posters communicate hazards very well. I am attaching two pictorial SOPs. The advantage is that even illiterate workmen can understand them. We try to present the subject to workmen through poster competitions during Safety Week and ask them to visualize the written SOPs. We have received a very good response. Everyone is requested to share similar pictures.

The Pictorial SOP concept seems good. We may organize such a theme-based competition on the upcoming National Safety Day.

I am attaching one of the posters made by our employee, showing the consequences of using a mobile phone while driving. Perhaps you can convert it into an SOP if found suitable.

Also, please go through the link below and download the PDF file containing many such posters. I will share more soon.

Thank you.

Sudhirji,

This is a good suggestion! I will definitely use it in the upcoming Safety Week Program. I request that if you have any Marathi SOPs, please post them on the site so that we can use them after proper modification. We all appreciate your valuable contribution to this forum. New safety personnel are getting on the right track because of such valuable sharing.

Dear Sudhir, It's a very new concept and sounds good. I have a presentation that contains a lot of drawings of school kids' safety competition prize winners. I couldn't upload it now due to an upload error. I have tried in Chrome, Explorer, and Opera, but it still shows an error. I have just forwarded it to you to upload the same.

Dear Dipil & Abhay, Thanks for your inputs. Keep on sharing.

Regards

Dear All, I want to impart classroom training on Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment to contract workmen. Can anyone provide simple pictorial explanations to help them understand the following terms:

1. Hazard
2. Risk
3. Hierarchy of Control Measures in a Single Job as an Example
- Elimination
- Substitution
- Engineering Control
- Administrative Control
- Personal Protective Equipment

I hope my requirement is clear to all, and I am expecting to receive great inputs. Thanks in advance.

Dear Raghu, Bhaskar, and Pmuku, thank you for your motivational comments.

One picture is better than a thousand words sometimes. This is a really good attempt to create awareness on the use of visual effects for science communication.
