When Messer Construction needed an effective way to track workplace safety and maintain a record of injury-free days, they turned to Evolution creative solutions for a solution that balanced functionality, cost-efficiency, and long-term durability.
The Challenge: Creating a Flexible and Durable Injury Tracking System
Maintaining a safe workplace is essential, and tracking injury-free days is a key part of reinforcing safety culture. Messer wanted a practical solution for displaying zero injury days and recording daily updates. Their requirements included:
- Visibility and Functionality: The signage needed to be clear, easy to use, and visible to employees, serving as both a reminder and a motivational tool.
- Customizable Daily Updates: A system was required to track each day of the month and distinguish between working and non-working days, as well as injury-free and injury days.
- Cost-Effective and Durable Options: The solution needed to be affordable initially, with the option to upgrade to a more permanent version if the system proved effective.
Evolution’s Creative Solution
Our Creative Solutions Team provided a phased, flexible approach that allowed Messer to test, evaluate, and ultimately invest in a long-term safety tracking system.
Phase 1: Dry Erase Test Version
Evolution created an 18” x 36” poster printed on durable laminate, designed as a dry erase board. The board included:
- Pre-printed Calendar Layout: A space to track each day of the month.
- Color-Coded Tracking: Employees could manually mark the board for no-injury days, injury days, and non-working days.
This cost-effective solution allowed Messer to test the system without committing to a permanent installation. Once they confirmed the system worked effectively, they returned for an upgraded solution.
Phase 2: Permanent Magnetic Version
Building on the success of the dry erase version, we developed a more durable and long-term magnetic solution. This included:
- Magnetic Metal Board: The same 18” x 36” layout, printed on a metal surface for durability and ease of use.
- Custom Magnets: Evolution produced color-coded magnets (green, red, and blue) to represent injury-free days, injury days, and non-working days, providing a clean and professional tracking method.
- Enhanced Functionality: The magnets made daily updates easier, while the permanent board provided a polished look suitable for long-term use in high-visibility areas.
