Safety Speakers Can Have Fun With A Serious Subject
The best safety speakers need to know how to have fun with serious subjects. As an international safety speaker I fly thousands of miles every year. Like you, I hear over and over again the same safety announcement. It is so boring that no one listens. That is unfortunate since the subject is serious and people need to be prepared. I bet you never thought of flight attendants as safety speakers but they do carry out that task. The great announcements use creativity, humor and innovation to get your attention to deliver an important message.

SAMPLE EMAIL TEXT:
We have recently been informed of a new government safety standard that will go into effect next month. Please go to the following link to hear the announcement. http://goo.gl/iT5R52
One of the best ways to make your point is by using humor. As you know, you will more likely listen to a creative and fun airline safety announcement than the same tired, old message. For years, 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.
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!
Have fun with this and be on the watch for more fun videos I will be producing in the weeks ahead.
Until next week,
I’ll be “Watching Out For Everyone’s Safety™”
John
