What incidents have taken place in your office?
In the course of a busy day, who hasn’t attempted to carry too many things at once in order to hurry through a task or overloaded a power-socket to make sure that all of the necessary electrical appliances were operating? Collectively, it’s a humorous take on the various health and safety issues that can cause serious problems in the workplace, but taking each issue individually on its own merits, it’s a handy reminder of how to not to behave in the workplace.
Workplaces cannot afford for employees to suffer an injury in the workplace. An injured person who isn’t in work means that the company is light an employee with their work being left untouched or leaving other people to shoulder the burden of their absence. This may impact on the level of service provided to the end consumer or it may result in a company having to hire temporary staff to cover their absence. The thing about staff members suffering an injury in work, these issues are only the beginning of a company’s troubles.

If you’ve been running your own business for a while, you’re probably familiar with all the problems that can occur in the workplace. Accidents can happen and people can get injured. The injuries can be as insignificant as bumps and scratches but they can also be very severe. Depending on the work position, people can easily lose a limb or even lose their life in case of an accident. Just like every job position has its own dangers, so do the different times of the year. If you want to raise people’s awareness about the lurking dangers all around us, you can hire a cartoonist to make you a safety cartoon calendar.
Cartoons are the most efficient way of getting people’s attention. We all react positively to cartoons as we associate them with happy and careless childhood, fun and humor. This has been recognized by many industries and lately, it’s being recognized in safety campaigns as well. If you want to raise awareness and to educate people about safety throughout the entire year, the easiest way to do it is with a safety cartoon calendar. You can have a different safety cartoon each month so that the people spend enough time to memorize one episode, but they also get a new lesson each month to keep things interesting and fresh.
When you decide to use a safety cartoon calendar, you’re choosing what’s best for you and your employees. Not only will your workers be safer, they will also be entertained and you can benefit from reduced compensation costs you’d pay for work-related injuries. Your employees are your most valuable asset as they’re the heart and soul of any company. Without the workers, a company would become a soulless and dull machinery that would eventually fall apart due to lack of ideas. As an employer, it’s your obligation to implement and use best safety practices and a safety management program.
Keeping up the awareness all year long with a safety cartoon calendar is especially effective not only because it draws attention, teaches a lesson in a fun way and keeps things fresh, but also because you can present many different hazards and make the content of cartoons more relevant for each moth. As an example, in December, you can try raising awareness about the dangers of leaving the heater turned on when leaving the office, etc. Using the services of a skilled cartoonist such as myself can maximize the effects of your campaign through fun, effective, and engaging drawings for your safety cartoon calendar.

Health and safety cartoons are becoming increasingly popular, and for a good reason.
They are the most effective way of communicating with employees so many business owners and government institutions are using them for all kinds of functions. One of those functions is employee safety and public safety.
The cartoons are very engaging and people react to them positively so it’s quite easy to get people’s attention using health and safety cartoons.
This is even easier to do if you have a main character in the cartoon that will take the role of the safety cartoon mascot. People love mascots and easily get used to them. Just like every sports team needs a mascot, your company should also have one, and if you include that character in your safety campaign, you’re much more likely to achieve success in this area.
If you don’t have a mascot but you think it’s a good idea to use a specific character in health and safety cartoons for your business, you can ask a cartoonist like me to make one for you. Whether it’s a careless employee that causes a lot of accidents or a pair of characters that are the exact opposite of each other, you name it, and I can draw it. Once your safety cartoon mascot is born, you can put it in different stories, and your employees will be anxious to see just what he will do next. The employees will gather around the mascot’s adventures, discuss his actions and learn valuable lessons from his mistakes. The messages delivered through cartoons and safety cartoon characters will make a greater impact and stick in people’s heads longer than any other type of warning or message. And all of this can be done with a little humor coming from a skilled cartoonist.

Health and Safety Cartoons – The importance of workplace safety
As an employer, you’re supposed to take care of your workers and to make sure they’re as safe as they can be in your work environment. Staying safe is an imperative as accidents can cause people to get seriously injured, or worse, and the employer will be partly responsible. Safety warnings are very efficient means of getting the message through, but if they’re written as plain text, many won’t bother to read them.
On the other hand, there’s a highly effective way of communicating these messages to people. Do you know what it is? It’s the health and safety cartoons! People are most likely to stop and have a look at a sign if it contains a cartooned image and that’s why the health and safety cartoons make the most effective communicators.

In the first instance I would draw a visual after reading your brief or I could read your article and come up with ideas. You can then make your comments on the visual and I will incorporate these into the second stage visual. Then on approval I’ll either finish it in black/white or full colour. The file format is usually jpeg but if you want a different one let me know.

Health and Safety Cartoon outlining the hazards in a gymnasium…
If you’re trying to run a successful business, you need to keep your employees happy and healthy. This means you have to make sure they’re safe in their workplace and that they’re aware of the dangers that may exist in and around their job post. The tools that can help you achieve this in the most effective way are health and safety cartoon animations that you’ll use to make interesting and informative presentations. You can then build safety seminars and training courses around these presentations.
Bringing difficult messages through health and safety cartoons
When you’re talking about serious things such as safety, there are some difficult messages you have to deliver and doing this with a sense of humor will bring a light moment and an instant sense of relief. This can change the attitude the workers have towards the speaker and towards the entire course. Sometimes, a feel-good factor needs to be added when you’re trying to convey a difficult message and that’s exactly what the health and safety cartoon animations can do. If there are certain behaviors you want to portray as bad or dangerous, you can use the cartoons to gently mock such behaviors. This will help you point out the behaviors in a way that the workers can recognize them and the potential dangers they bring. This also makes a good intro for more serious issues you’ll be raising later on as you’ll start with less tension.
The benefits of hiring an experienced skilful cartoonist to draw your health and safety cartoons…
A skillful cartoonist will do much more than just draw something for you. A skillful cartoonist can take your idea or concept, purify it, and present it with just a few short words and images, without losing any part of the meaning. A good health and safety cartoon animation will make the message you’re trying to send shorter, easier to understand, and much more appealing to the people that are supposed to see it. The cartoonists will often utilize the elements of observational comedy that help the audience to recognize the message and internalize it. Another effective way of using health and safety cartoon animations is to use it as a part of series that you’ll use throughout your safety course to illustrate the key moments of your presentation. This kind of approach will have your audience on the tip of their toes and focused on what you’re saying; they’ll even look forward to your next point wanting to see how you’ll present it. That’s why you should use original and customized health and safety cartoon animations if you want to get and maintain the attention of your audience.
