Why Customization Can Enhance a Safety-First Culture

If you look around, you’ll notice hazardous situations that could affect your health and safety. That’s because, in every industry, risks are prevalent throughout the environment.

Realizing the need to foster safety at every level of an organization is critical for cultivating safe behaviors. Identification solutions like safety products reinforce the importance of making safer choices. But customizing safety messages goes beyond standard identification. Customization can create a safety-first culture with unique messages.

With hundreds of safety messages out there, you don’t want to settle for a standard stock message. Identify a unique-to-your-business hazard with custom safety signs and labels. 

Customized identification will help you create a safety-first culture in your workplace. Here are a few benefits to customizing safety signs and information items.

1) Provide clarity – Custom safety signs, labels, tags, permits and banners give employers a better, more accurate understanding of safety messages and hazards in the work environment. Instead of settling on a generic safety message, a custom product will provide better clarification of the hazard. 

2) Increase safety awareness – Sometimes you need a large sign to capture the attention of your audience. Customizing your product will increase safety awareness and create a safety-first culture. When workers are aware of safety practices in unique and visual ways, they’re safer. The best custom identification experts offer a large selection of materials, sizes, color options, finishing, and more to help you communicate your messages.

3) Stay compliant – With custom products you can create completely unique signs and labels that also follow OSHA and ANSI standards. Whether you need to identify hazardous situations, remind employees to when to wear PPE, or need to inform others about chemicals in your facility, custom safety signs and tags allow you to have the exact message you need so you can stay compliant.

4) Employee involvement – One of the most effective ways to get your employees buy-in to your safety-first culture is to get them involved. Get co-workers excited about safety and ask them to conduct a walk-through of the facility.  Find ways you can work together to come up with unique safety messages that complement your culture.  Include your company logo, safety themes or images of employees to capture the attention of others. You’ll be surprised with the results – because chances are you’ll realize some of the messages weren’t effective and needed to be updated.

5) Create safety champion – Customized messages talk to your workers – the same group of people you spend most waking hours with. You know what resonates with them because you know them. Communicate your safety messages in a unique way that sticks and keep them safe for life.
