Preventing Workplace Accidents Using the Power of DIY Safety Poster Prints from your color printer


Have you heard of Hazcom, transporting and Hazmat in safety. Now we Haztoon. That's right. Cartoons convey safety messages with impact.

It 'very challenging to communicate safety in a working environment. Accidents are not cheap. In fact, they can be very, very expensive! Think of insurance claims, days lost, loss of production, relations, labor disruptions, morale ...

The root of the problem is people. It is not easy to convince people to follow safety rules.

The personal protective equipment that companies provide is practically useless if workers are not being used. Safety guidelines are useless if not followed. The key word is availability. The willingness of workers to observe good safety practices when nobody supervises.

Somehow, people need to do it in their subconscious wish to follow the rules of hygiene and safety. It is an uphill task for the security practitioner - to drive the message through.

The researchers found that people remember 50% more in what they see than in what they feel. Visuals get people's attention. The many images on billboards, magazines, newspapers or even on the internet are testimonies that advertising visuals are so effective.

Humor effectively directs a point. Accident situations can not be photographed. Only stuntmen are crazy enough to perform potentially hazardous activities that can cause accidents.

Cartoons can effectively illustrate dangerous situations which could be almost impossible to capture on film.

The successful safety poster first captures people's attention with the graphics and color. Subsequently, allows them to enjoy the images to relax their mood. Finally, it presents the message of safety for the final.

If done right, people will remember the messages of safety posters for a very long time. When people are exposed to enough for a long period of time, the messages sink in their subconscious. Becomes second nature to them.

This fact has been used in advertising and propaganda - all for one purpose - to influence people's opinions or buying behavior. Cartoon posters do influence people's behavior children. It 's also fun.

The challenge is to find these posters that are both cheap and good. The easiest way out is the DIY approach - print them yourself. A good computer color printer is all you need is always .......
