CLIENT
Maersk Oil
OBJECTIVE
Create a flexible media for Maersk safety coaches to use and present to their audiences and reduce complacency of workers when it comes to hand safety in the workplace.
APPROACH
We created a hard hitting campaign rolled out across various mediums aimed at reducing the number of hand related injuries.
Maersk Oil had Health and Safety issues surrounding a selection of common topics amongst large O&G companies, such as; Hand Safety, Slips Trips and Falls; COSHH; Workplace Stress; Dropped Objects, and so on.
The need was to create a creative, hard hitting campaign that could be rolled out across various mediums to make sure a significant change was seen in the reduction of hand related injuries.
The majority of the audience will be offshore workers, but there will be other audiences, including On-shore job roles, office workers, and suppliers/contractors. A common characteristic of all audiences is that they can suffer from ‘safety fatigue’.
The safety culture is drummed home with such insistence that it creates delusions of immunity from accidents. In short they become complacent. Many of the audience automatically go into a ‘switch to receive’ mode and need to be worked hard to get them to contribute.
There is a view that confronting the audience with the reality of hand injury could help the message stick. In the words of one OHS ‘The more realistic the images, the more likely it is to hit home’.
Our concept for hand safety
We like to summarize the key thrust of a message into a single sentence to provide direction for our creative stance. This will encapsulate the thoughts that ‘it can happen to you’; ‘Consequences are severe’; and ‘It will alter your whole life’.
A momentary lapse in safety can have lifelong consequences for your home as well as work life.
Taking this as our guide we can begin to interpret how it may influence a strap line that can be used as part of an awareness raising program:
What are you missing?
Copy: A serious hand injury can impact your home life. Don’t wear jewelry at work.

Do you need a hand?
Copy: A serious hand injury can make life more difficult than you think. Make sure you keep yours safe.

Can you handle this?
