Two Additional Safety Game Ideas
The printable games above aren't the only options. Safety Slogan
Lottery Winner and Safety Show and Tell are two more options
that you may want to consider.
Safety Slogan Lottery Winner
While it is not quite Mega Millions, this safety slogan lottery will
certainly pique great interest at minimal cost.
1. Place all employee names in a hat or bag.
2. Every day or every week (depending on the size of the
workforce and budget), the manager posts a safety slogan to
all company bulletin boards.
3. At any point during the day, the manager approaches the
employee whose name has been drawn and asks the employee
to quote the safety slogan of the day.

4. If the employee can quote the safety slogan, the employee
receives a lottery ticket. If not, the manager adds the lottery
ticket to the award the following day or week, increasing the
award value. When an employee is able to quote the safety
slogan accurately, that employee receives the entire award.
The next day or week the contest starts again with a new lottery
ticket.
Safety Show and Tell
There's nothing like show and tell to keep the training interactive
and fun for your staff. To kick off Safety Show and Tell, invite two
or three of your local government agencies such as law
enforcement, the fire department, emergency management, risk
management, or poison control into your office to demonstrate
relevant safety-related topics. Ask the guest speakers to present on
specific topics or ask them to make a few recommendations and
you can select the topic that best fits your needs.
Topic ideas include:
How to avoid electrical fires by not overloading extension
cords
How to identify potential depression and mental health
concerns
How to avoid car accidents
How employees can remain safe when leaving the office to get
in their cars or public transportation
How to identify carbon monoxide poisoning
After each presentation, complete the following game with your
group:
1. Divide your group into at least two teams.
2. Set a 25 minute time limit.

3. Ask each group to write down related safety issues that they
have encountered at work, either with their current or past
employer, and discuss:
How the issue was handled
How what they learned from the guest speaker(s) may
have helped to prevent the workplace incident
Ideas for new solutions to mitigate the safety issue
4. Instruct each team to elect a team leader to report their
findings at the end of the game.
The team that offers the most examples of how to prevent
workplace accidents wins. Give bonus points to teams that offer
practical, outside-of-the-box creativity or cost cutting measures.
Ideas for Safety Game Prizes
Workplace Safety Game prizes can be big or small - either way,
your team will appreciate the effort. Game winners might be
treated to a variety of items depending on budget, staff size, and
team or individual contribution to a safer work environment.
Prizes can include:
Extra vacation time
Workplace lunch with the president of the company
Casual dress day
Gift certificates
Company logo merchandise like hats or pens
Tips for Selecting the Right Safety Game
When deciding what safety games to use, it is important to
consider the organization's culture and to select games that are
likely to be a good fit for the audience.
Questions you should contemplate include:
1. What is the nature of the company's operations?
2. How many work locations are there?
3. Do the participants include line staff, executive staff, or a mix?
4. Do the participants regularly work together?

5. Is this the participants' first safety training or could they
almost teach the class?
6. What is the typical education level of the participants?
7. What are the typical safety hazards that the participants will
encounter such as office tripping hazards or heavy equipment
hazards?
8. What will be the duration of the safety game?
9. What is your budget for the safety games?
Using Games in Safety Programs
Employers feel mounting pressure from their employees, unions,
and society in general to keep a safe work environment. Employers
have a strong interest in avoiding negligence lawsuits from
employees as well as public shaming and fines from regulatory
agencies, such as the United States Occupational Safety and
Health Administration ♂ (OSHA) due to workplace safety
violations. As a result, many employers are implementing safety as
a core value through safety policies and training initiatives.
Championing Safety
Typically, group managers, human resources personnel, or safety
officers are tasked with championing safety in the workplace
through the establishment of a safety program, aiming to:
Eliminate all workplace injuries
Reduce lost time hours
Spend more time and money on preventative measures to
keep employees safe and business operations in full swing
These programs often include games, which can be both
motivating and meaningful.
Better Safety Than Sorry
These fun and easy workplace safety games give you the tools and
the opportunity that you need to start or expand your workplace
safety campaign, curb workplace accidents, reduce employer work
related injury expenses, and keep your workforce healthy.
Continuing to encourage your employees to embrace safety as a
way of doing business is just a game away.
