Evaluating the effectiveness of your Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) communication plan is crucial to ensure its success. This insight provides a step-by-step guide to evaluate the effectiveness of an OHS communication plan.

Set Clear Objectives

Clear objectives provide a benchmark against which the effectiveness of the communication plan can be evaluated. Objectives may include increased awareness of safety protocols, reduced accidents, or improved employee feedback.

Feedback from Employees

Feedback from employees is a valuable indicator of the effectiveness of the communication plan. Regular surveys can provide insights into whether the safety message is being understood and acted upon.

Monitor Safety Metrics

Monitoring safety metrics such as accident rates, near misses, and safety violations can provide a quantitative measure of the communication plan's effectiveness.
