Having Fun With A Serious Subject On April Fools Day and Beyond by Safety Speaker John Drebinger
One of the best ways to make your point is by using humor. For April Fools fun check out: http://goo.gl/HFI9jP As you know, you will more likely listen to a creative and fun airline safety announcement than the same old, tired message. For years as a safety speaker, I have been sharing the message that people need to use the handrail whenever they are going up or down the stairs. They need to avoid carrying armloads of materials for many reasons; it blocks their view, it throws them off-balance, and they are unable to lightly hold the handrail while using the stairs. In researching staircase safety, I discovered the dollar loss from falls on stairs is second only to automobile crash injuries!
In order to help you spread the word on staircase safety, I have produced a special video for you to show at your next safety meeting or you may include the link in any newsletter or email you send. It is fashioned after the many April Fools web pages and videos that show up this time of year. When you need a safety speaker who brings fun and creativity to his safety presentations call me at 209-745-9419
This video is timeless as it refers to the new regulation going into effect “next month.” Whenever you send the link to someone or play it at a later meeting, it will still apply. So please, pass it on!
