The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has announced it is to launch its new 2009 Shattered Lives campaign in order to raise awareness of the issue of slips, trips and falls at work.

The aim of the campaign is to focus attention on the key risks and help those involved to take simple action that will prevent slips, trips and falls.

The HSE has recently produced a pack of A4 “cling” stickers, with the Shattered Lives campaign slogan, which can be displayed in the work environment in order to reinforce and personalise the safety message of its campaign.

The clear, see-through poster can ideally be affixed to mirrors to reflect back to the viewer that they could be the one with a “shattered life,” should risks fail to be adequately controlled. The stickers can also be used on surfaces such as windows and glass partitions in offices.

The poster is made from non-sticky, biodegradable materials and is available in packs of 10 from HSE Books, tel: 01787 881165, at a cost (per pack) of £5.00.
