Safety Is Priority One” is the key message of the employee-pocket safety card. Firms can print it as-is or they can easily customize it, to add their own logos or special messages. The front of the card poses a series of brief instructions and questions employees should address before moving forward with a task. In large bold letters the card advises, “IF YOU DON’T KNOW IF IT’S SAFE, DO NOT PROCEED.” The card’s reverse asks, “Which of these six hazard categories apply?” The six categories are contact, exposure, fall, caught/crushed, ergonomics, and energy source, with each being subcategorized; e.g., for “energy source,” electricity, pressure, compression/tension, or rotating equipment. GBA members can print the card in its GBA PDF format, using the GBA logo. GBA also distributes the card in a Microsoft Word format and an InDesign format. The Word format makes logo substitution easy. The InDesign version provides a higher-quality result, but special software is needed to use it.

This file is in MSWord (.docx) format so GBA-Member Firms may easily paste in their own logo. For a higher-quality file, please order the InDesign version instead (requires special software; check with your company's graphics team to find out if you can use this).
