Select Program Details

• A good topic breakdown provides a solid
structural framework around which off-the-job
safety program content can be developed. For
example, content may be based on seasonal
hazards, on home, traffic, and public accidents, or
according to accident types and causes.
• A seasonal emphasis outline might include:
• Weekends – god housekeeping, lawn mowers, garden tools, do-it-yourself activities,

pruning/planting trees, plowing, bicycles;
• Summer - sunburn, swimming, camping, boating, hiking, field sports, fishing, poison ivy,
insects, vacation hazards;
• Vacation time - home power tools, back-to-school hazards, yard cleanup, repair-storage
of tools; and

• Holiday - sports, home, heating equipment, holiday safety, Weather exposure, over
exertion, driving safety
• Topics can tie in to program of national scope interest. These
national programs provide radio, TV, newspaper, and other
forms of publicity that help promote your program content.

Employee, Family and Community Involvement
• The assistance of a special off-the-job safety group
may be valuable. Membership in this group can
include employees, family members of employees,
local civic, schools, or community persons with an
interest or role in safety in general;

• Every community has special interest groups and
organizations already concerned with various phases
of off-the-job safety and that will lend their resources
and personnel to assist in company activities.

• Among such groups are: the local safety council;
Chamber of Commerce; Service Clubs; Red Cross
Chapters; Local Papers; Radio and TV stations; Health, Police, and Fire Departments; Parent-
Teacher Associations; Rescue Squads; Emergency Service Groups;

• A representative from the volunteer sector of the ASPPI can come to an organization and present
an off-the-job safety program to its members or employees.

• Assistance can also be obtained from: DOLE-BWC ; Medical, Visiting Nurse, and other
associations; Poison Control Centers; Local Police; Insurance Companies; and Public Health
Groups;
