Dear All,
We are conducting a "Hold Hand Rail Campaign" in our plant. The attached document has been shared with all employees and displayed on posters at strategic locations.
I kindly request everyone to share relevant documents, presentations, films, articles, etc., with me so that we can ensure the success of the Hold Hand Rail Campaign and bring about a change in the mindset of a few individuals.
I look forward to receiving your inputs.
Thank you.

Dear Dipil Kumar,
Thank you for the clear query giving the background. Please see www.myfloridacfo.com/.../STAIRWAY%20SAFETY% - United States. It would be better to include some slides showing what could happen when handrails are not used.
Have a nice day.

Dear Dipil It sounds nice to see such posters. Of course we should use the handrails while going up and down in staircase to avoid avoidable accidents. Thanks for sharing and Keep on sharing.

Dear All,
I am planning to run a campaign now on the subject "Haath Bachave" (Save Hands)...
Does anyone have materials related to this topic? Any ideas on how we can make this campaign a success, please share your thoughts. Something similar to the Hold Hand Rail Campaign mentioned in this thread.
Looking forward to hearing from the team.

Dear Dipilji ,
Good Initiative ....
The primary causal factors identified for hand and finger injuries are:
- Inadequate assessment of risk
- Inattention or lack of focus
- Cutting corners / rushing.
- Mistaken priorities - safety versus objectives.
- Lifting / applying force incorrectly
- Using the incorrect tool for the job
In my views : Hands are the most important “Tool” you use. Please take care of them!
Thanks

Dear Dipil,
It is a good initiative. There were three LTAs in an MNC last year (I'll not name the company) due to not holding handrails. Employees even got fractures.
There are three inputs from my side as I did the same in my plant too. Also, it was a successful campaign.
1) Servant Leadership/Lead by Example: This is a campaign where the leaders start showing the behavior they want their subordinates to exhibit. Also, we used photos of leaders in the training program while they were using handrails. This was very effective.
One-Point Lesson: This is a pictorial representation of Safe & Unsafe behavior together on a paper in a defined format. The format may be developed (It is not a standard format. I developed it for my plant.) The important point is that the OPL needs to be prepared by shop floor employees only. Also, the employee preparing the OPL needs to give a kind of TBT to his co-workers and take their signature on the OPL. After that, we are required to get the OPL printed in a bigger size and paste the same near stairs. Please note that employees are required to prepare OPLs for their respective areas. This will motivate the people.
3) Also, you may start a "Feedback on Site" program. In it, everyone is empowered to give feedback to anyone (no bar of designation). For example, if a manager is not using the handrail, then a worker may give him feedback that his behavior is not safe (politely). On the other hand, if someone is using the handrail, we are required to appreciate him/her on the spot. Appreciation may be just a pat on the back, handshake, and a few words. This will surely motivate people.
We also pasted stickers on the vertical side of steps of stairs. It looks good as well as informative too.
And lastly, sorry team that I was lost on citehr. I came back after a long, long time. I'll try to be on site regularly now as I missed very important and helpful discussions on site.
Thanks and Be Safe,
