Take a Knee for Safety is one of a range of Safety Posters aimed specifically at helping workplaces involved in childcare minimise (minimize) risk to workers by reinforcing the basics in areas where most injuries and incidents occur.
(If this series does not cover an important issue in your childcare workplace, Promote Safety is happy to consider adding to the range. Just email us with your suggestion.)
 
The Safety Posters in this series also promote three approaches to Practicing Proactive Safety which help workers be more involved in workplace safety, and therefore more alert to the risks.
 
Taking a Knee for Safety is a strategy to minimise (minimize) stress which would usually occur with prolonged or repeated bending; provide a more stable position so workers are not easy knocked off balance; and provide a support for workers when standing up again. Other posters in this series deal with other manual handling issues.
 
Note: Posters ordered in US paper sizes have US spelling, posters in Australian paper sizes have UK spelling.
 
The Practise (Practice) Proactive Safety graphic is available on our Free Poster Graphics page which safety professionals can use to support this poster and keep the issue top of mind among workers.
