ABSTRACT
The safety committee plays an important role. The most common platforms for communicating a safety message tend to be safety meetings, shift briefings or toolbox talks. Achieving excellence in safety takes a team effort much like a football team that wins the championship. The means of communication are only limited to our imagination. Text messages are being used more frequently, but should not replace more personal communications such as handwritten notes. There is one method that stands out the rest and is perhaps the most important for communicating people safety message: utilizing allies. Using allies is especially effective in large, geographically dispersed organizations where simply getting one message out to all front-line employees is a challenge. A great vision and message can only be great if it can be communicated in an effective manner.
