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.

Have YOUR logo included in safety cartoon customization…
Besides making relevant safety cartoons that grasp the employee attention quickly and deliver the point instantly, my cartoons can also be customized with your company logo. Besides using your logo in customized safety cartoons, I can also use your company colors or match the cartoons with your website design or your social media account. Although there’s some humor involved, the effects of the cartoon won’t be mocking the dangers and it won’t cause the people to laugh at safety issues but to teach people about the lurking dangers in the most approachable and engaging way. Many people learn better from the images than text, so this will make learning easier and closer to many. What’s best about the customized safety cartoons is that they can be completely adapted to your company’s needs and ideas. Another efficient method of teaching safety in the workplace is by using a mascot. I can also integrate your mascot to be a part of the cartoon and completely in tune with your previous campaigns. The customized safety cartoons can come in many forms, including wall calendars, presentations, emails, websites, etc. The key is to keep it engaging and keep it fresh and the cartoons are the perfect tool that can be adapted to any media and any size.

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.

What makes safety cartoons so efficient?
Well, first of all, safety cartoons take less time and less effort to comprehend than written messages. No matter the age, the education, and the language a person is using, everybody can understand a health and safety cartoon. It’s a way of communicating without words.
Many employers are becoming aware of this and are starting to add cartoons to their messages to illustrate their point and to draw more attention. This is a strategy that’s already widely used by the government and it’s a smart decision as it helps all social groups, as well as immigrants and illiterate people, understand the safety warnings. Safety cartoons can be used together with the written message or without it, but the point is, a cartoon is understood in seconds and most people will probably disregard the written notice. The cartoons are also used to underline a point and they’re being used more and more, especially in school textbooks.
