3.Base a safety game on a well-know board game like Trivial Pursuit. Create questions that relate to safety and have your employees quiz each other. Play Scrabble and set rules that only allow health or safety-related words to be used. You can also ask questions in a Jeopardy-style game. Consider awarding a prize to the winner to promote competition and further learning.
4.Design a scavenger hunt for your employees. Participants can search for safety items and even hazards. You can either set up things for your employees to find or have them simply search the workplace. Offer a prize to the first person or team that locates a designated number of items and hazards.

6.Ask speakers to make presentations to your employees. Inviting professionals who have experience in different areas of safety is a great way to introduce new information and hold your employees' attention.
