Work can be demanding. When you're busy or distracted, it's easy to forget the most important thing at work. You.
People aren't robots - you can't easily replace someone with an exact copy. We all have individual skills, experience and expertise.
But people also can't be programmed to act the same way each time we do a task. People make decisions. Mistakes happen in the rush of a deadline or even in day-to-day complacency.
Safety isn't just a one-time thing. But if you don't work safely every time, you are taking chances. The chance of something going wrong. Of someone getting hurt.
These chances are when accidents happen.
Because that's what the definition of risk is. The chance that somebody could be harmed.
By taking chances, you increase the risk.
These 10 free health and safety wallpapers aren't going to reduce the risks in your workplace. But they will help remind you and your team of the importance of working safely. And not to take chances with it.
Each design includes a message to keep health and safety at the top of your mind. So maybe if you are busy at work, or have your mind on other things, you won't forget to look after yourself and others.

Work isn't a computer game - there are no extra lives to collect. Every year people suffer life-changing and life-ending injuries at work.
Whether you use this for a poster in the workplace or as a desktop background, it will help remind you and your team of the personal impact health and safety has.
What's more important, your work or your life?
Putting safety first is putting yourself first. Deadlines, budgets and other work pressures will all impact how a task is completed, but always consider yourself (and your safety) first.
Spotting hazards is one of the first steps to risk assessment. You can't control risks unless you identify the hazards creating the risks.
Use this design as a poster to help remind your team to be on the lookout for hazards.
Use this desktop wallpaper design to remember what safety is.
Creating a safe work environment protects people from danger, risk or injury. And who wouldn't want to be safe at work?
How do we calculate risk? Likelihood and severity. The likelihood that harm will occur and the potential severity of that harm. Easily remember with this wallpaper design.

Tomorrow is your reward for working safely today.
Every year hundreds of workers don't get a tomorrow. In 2020/21, 142 workers were killed at work, according to HSE statistics.
Make sure you and your team get through the working day safely.
Your team can be involved with safety initiatives. They can alert you to problems and give you feedback. It all starts with a conversation.
Being involved makes people much more likely to comply with health and safety, and they probably have some great ideas.
Use this as a wallpaper or poster to encourage health and safety conversations.
Health and safety isn't a single assessment or an item on your agenda - it's part of everything you do. Remember to be aware and stay alert because risks are all around you.
Stay focused and avoid complacency. Mistakes cost lives.
You don't have to be perfect. Make sure your health and safety systems have multiple layers. Include collective and personal controls. That way, if one thing goes wrong, people are still safe.
