Safety awareness song
Answers
Answer:
which song is this ..
Answer:
Safety songs? Oh, yes. Workplace safety songs abound, and they can be an effective tool to strengthen your workplace safety culture.
Safety is a serious subject; no one debates that. It can also be mind-numbingly dull. Why not liven it up through the power of song, a medium long used to spread serious messages? Politics, war, social unrest, civil rights abuses—these are all subjects regularly addressed in song. And now, there’s safety.
Mainstream songs touching on serious subjects—be those politics or civil rights—tend to sound serious. However, homegrown workplace safety songs are typically lighthearted and funny and still manage to get across useful information.
The entertainment value is one of the very reasons they are effective. Conveniently, they’re also short, so they’re great for a safety moment or to spice up a daily toolbox talk.
Songs: Infusing Fun for Effective Safety Messaging
“Lack of interest and boredom during certain [safety] teaching methods, such as lecture-only or reading-intensive training sessions, can cause some workers to have difficulty retaining the information they need to know,” says Irene A. Blake in the Houston Chronicle story “How to Make Safety Training Fun.”
“Making safety training fun,” continues Blake, “can help you increase worker engagement and improve overall workplace safety and emergency responses.”
Jeffrey Dalto of Convergence Training explored combining safety training and fun by asking safety professionals in several LinkedIn groups, “What do you do to make your safety training more fun and engaging for your employees?” He then grouped responses into categories, several of which songs can address: games, competitions, rewards, humor, and, perhaps to a lesser degree, storytelling.
“It has been my experience,” states Laurie Bell of St John’s Ambulance, whom Dalto quotes under the humor category, “that training should not be conducted in a somber atmosphere. If you can get people to laugh you will be able to get them to learn.” If that is the case, the safety song might be your best bet.
Journalist Peter Bacqué drives home the effectiveness of livening up safety training with song in his article “Being Safe Is Cool” for the Richmond Times-Dispatch: “Nothing can bore a worker like a safety briefing—right up till someone dies. Or until Dennis McDade starts rapping.”
McDade is a lineman for Dominion—this profession being one of the top ten most dangerous jobs in the United States. His song, “Safety Rap,”—which has over 400,000 YouTube views to date—fed into a greater company push to improve safety culture at Dominion. His efforts did not go unnoticed.
“[McDade] helped us through a critical period in our safety culture performance,” says Rodney Blevins, senior vice president and CIO at Dominion, in Bacqué’s story. “‘Safety Rap’ demonstrated that safety had become cool. We had made a shift in our safety culture.”
The company has invited McDade and his crew to perform the safety song at industry events. It ought be noted that as of 2014, Dominion had reduced reportable safety incidents by 27 percent since 2010 and had not experienced a fatality in over a decade.
