EV73 - CEL 3: Making Your Radiation Safety Message Stick! 35 Years of Powerful Quotes Collected on Sticky Notes (Gutierrez, Emery)Orlando VI 06:45 - 07:45 |
| Successful radiation safety programs function largely in the realm of prevention, so on a good day “nothing happens”. But the value of “making nothing happen” can be a very difficult message to convey, and this often becomes an impediment to our ability to collectively articulate our story and needs to key program stakeholders. After 35 years of practice we have learned that the right quote, when used at the right time, can be a very strategic way of achieving desired decision making. These quotes, captured on hundreds of disorganized sticky notes, have adorned our office bulletin board for almost four decades, and while drawn from many safety specialties, they seem to have an uncanny universal appeal and thus have been compiled into a “top ten” list that will be shared for discussion during this presentation. |
