Challenge the perceptions of health and safety

20 February 2012

IOSH has launched a new online quiz to help challenge and change perceptions of health and safety. The ‘Save a million’ quiz is designed to help members get a more positive, finance focused message across. It’s directly related to the key message of IOSH’s Li£e Savings campaign: good health and safety management can save money as well as lives. 

Said Caroline Patel, Head of Campaigns at IOSH: “It’s all about turning age-old – often negative – perceptions around. The interactive quiz can be used as an ‘ice breaker’ at the start of a meeting or pitch, to make the point in a light-hearted way during a training session, or to get senior managers thinking differently about the issues at the start of a business case presentation.”

The quiz consists of six questions which cover topics from how much accidents and ill health cost the UK economy to how many new health and safety laws have been introduced in the last decade. To access the free ‘Save a million’ quiz, go to the Li£e Savings micro site, and click the resources page. The quiz comes with a guide giving full instructions, the answers to the questions, and a brief background to each answer.
