Safety campaigns
•

•
Require attention for work environment and organization and a great deal of
attention to behavior. Behavior often plays a major role in accidents.
Experience with materials (including films such as the “Woodside video”)
from outside parties, however, “not about us”.
First Teijin Aramid campaign developed in 2007 with a film in which
employees from 2 locations describe accidents they experienced and their
impact on them, both at work and outside work. Purpose of this was to
make employees aware of the consequences of accidents (see posters in
next slide). This campaign made a deep impression and removed the taboo
from emotional subjects. The victims were “heroes”.
After evaluating first campaign, started in 2008 on the development of a new
campaign. Teijin Aramid’s aims were clarified in this campaign. In this film
employees from the various locations took a look behind the scenes to see
how safety is viewed by Teijin Aramid. They ended by making a report to
management. The organization took an open and non-protective position
throughout the process.
Posters for first campaign
Goals for second campaign
One step beyond awareness: focus on observation, naming, and
discussing safety-related situations.
Starting points for second campaign

•
Series of short meetings (3) for employees
Medium for meetings: film (confrontational, supporting, break down
structures, visualization, humor and emotion)
Make use of employees’ own experiences
Translate Teijin Aramid-wide safety goals into a campaign
Campaign for all production locations
Exchanges among locations
Immediate supervisor organizes meetings for employees. They are
given advance instruction and a toolkit.
Film design
The concept:
6 employees (2 per location), go visit one of the other locations
in pairs and work there 2 days at various worksites.
Experiences and comments recorded on film.
Produced by the Beukelaar Groep.
Assignment: observe your colleagues working and safety processes:
- A look behind the scenes at the location
- Collaboration and collegiality
- Conditions under which work performed
- Safety systems
- What stood out in terms of safety
- Account for unsafe behavior
- Keep a logbook
- Afterwards make a joint report to management

Process
Each supervisor received a toolkit for holding
meetings with employees. This included:
• Plastic box with campaign logo
• Instruction folder (background information, tips)
• DVD with 3 film segments
• One leaflet per employee for each meeting. This contained discussion points /
dilemmas / questions / assignments about the film
Instructional meetings were held for the supervisors, in which they looked at
the film and materials together and had a chance to ask questions. The
toolkit was also handed out here
Also:
• Poster series throughout the plants (6 different posters)
• Personal invitation for employees

Campaign Results
•
Safety received attention from different angles. Our safety campaigns are
focused on behavior. It is difficult to substantiate the results in figures. We
put everything on targeting effort. We see positive changes here (see next
slide).
•
Results in a few quotes by supervisors from the evaluation:
“ There is now more room to talk about collaboration and the choices we
make”
“We are learning to continue to take a fresh look at our work”
“An accident occupies a small space and we quickly become blind to it”
“ Employees appreciate these looks behind the scenes”
“The film got good discussion going”
