See It, Sign It, Be Safe
Tuesday 23rd March between 1400 and 1600 UK TIME (ONLINE)
This is a free online conference and workshop that will look at current safety problems in different types of working environments.

When there is an emergency a quick visual communication that is easily understood by all workers in a noisy environment, is vital.
Knowing what to do in case of an emergency makes workers feel more confident, comfortable and safe. The employers gain better communication with their employees, and they have happier workers, who know what to do in an emergency. The workers then have more trust in their employer.
As a result, there will be a reduced risk of incidents and injuries.
