One of the most proactive steps you can take in your business is to create a safety culture. Building a plan behind a safety message that is relevant for every emergency situation shows your staff you place workplace safety high on the priority list, which will motivate employees to follow it and stay safe. It is critical to integrate safe work practices and regularly educate your staff on how to conduct and protect themselves in an emergency situation. Be sure to listen to all of your staff’s safety concerns and questions, and if you have enough staff, form a safety committee to deal with related issues.
Most importantly, educate your staff in advance, based on your crisis communication plan. This way, they can better understand and follow your emergency messages if and when the time comes.
Here are some strategies (specifically for office safety) that you can implement so that your staff can stay safe and avoid or reduce emergencies.
When writing your safety messages for employees, keep these considerations in mind:
The emergency mass notification platform you use to send your safety message for employees should make your job easier at every moment of the emergency, and even beforehand. Your messages should be sent in real time, and be easy to read and follow by your staff. You should be able to stay in touch with your staff, message them when necessary, and be able to reach them on any platform or device they are using. The company you choose should offer dependable, competent customer support 24/7, and be protected by the very best security.
Consider these features when planning your emergency message for employees:
Bottom line:
Before you share any emergency safety messages, make sure your staff is prepped, rehearsed and knowledgeable about what may go down in any emergency situation. Your communications should be short, to the point, and easy to understand.
