Corporate Risk Communication
The effectiveness of occupational health and safety (OH&S) management lies in adequate, assertive and cross-functional communication. Therefore, companies nowadays recognize the importance of duly informing their workers about the risks and hazards present at the workplace based on a systematic assessment approach. Additionally management is obliged to advise personnel on the preventive measures and the protection to be accounted for in order to meet the objectives set in occupational health and safety. Taking the latter into account, our consultants ensure information is properly communicated, bearing in mind the distinct traits of our clients and the different levels of proficiency amongst workers.
Evidence and good practices in OH&S confirm communication is key to ensuring healthy, safe and productive workplaces. In our practice we use different tools to undertake internal communication and strategies aimed at external agents. These mechanisms include visual communication (corporate videos, animated training), web-based tools (intranet, apps, Software as a Service -SaaS-) and printouts (manuals, posters, brochures).
To meet these objectives we implement strategies aimed at the following corporate goals:
- Use clear images and symbols consistent with OH&S standards for training and communication
- Repeat key information using written, verbal and visual formats
- Seek the active participation of workers to comply with OH&S strategies and policies
- Undertake activities to evaluate the level of understanding and comprehension amongst personnel
- Train top executives in assertive communication and management
