SAFETY CALENDAR

4. THE IDEA
Involve all employees and their families in a safety-related activity
Provide prizes to generate interest. All prizes should be safety related.
All employees and their families are eligible.
Be able to visualize the activity and maintain longevity.

5. A COMPANY CALENDAR
WHY ?
It was decided that all ages could take part in providing pictures for the calendar.
It would create a discussion about safety, at home, among family members.
The Company could promote SAFETY by publishing the calendar and by recognizing participants.

6. THE RULES
You could enter as many drawings as you wished but would be eligible to only win one prize.
All pictures had to be drawn by hand and related to safety on the job or off the job.
There were four categories based upon the four seasons plus a grand prize for the cover - a total of 13 prizes.
All winners would have their names printed with their drawings.

7. RESULTS
24 entrants with the range of ages from 19 months to 16 years and one adult entry.
Wide range of topics.
The winners were quite excited about having their artwork published for all to see.
The calendars are posted throughout the plant and in all employees’ homes as well as being given out to customers. They are a superb safety reminder for the entire year.
