SinAccidentes.com: prevention, signage, and a new opportunity for the sector

We begin by presenting a product closely related to industrial signage, but also to one of the great challenges present in any production environment: the occupational risk prevention.

In addition to targeting industries directly, SinAccidentes.com is looking for distributors, thus opening a possible new business line for signage companies.

Bringing occupational risk prevention to the plant floor

Francisco explains that the idea arose after various conversations with plant and prevention managers.

The problem detected was not necessarily the absence of documentation or procedures, but rather ensuring that all that preventive work effectively reached the place where people work.

SinAccidentes.com thus proposes a visual solution that seeks to bring prevention closer to the daily reality of factories and industrial environments.

When we stop seeing safety signs

One of the most interesting concepts in the episode is that of habituation.

In many industrial spaces we find messages such as the mandatory use of gloves, safety goggles, or other reminders. However, when an element always remains the same and in the same place, it can end up becoming so integrated into the environment that it stops catching our attention.

The counter of days without accidents introduces a changing component. The numbers evolve and, if a reset occurs, that change can generate questions and conversations among the workers themselves.

As Francisco explains, that exchange between colleagues can also help keep safety present within the team.

From preventive culture to daily behavior

Safety does not depend solely on the presence of a prevention technician.

During the conversation, the importance of getting colleagues themselves to incorporate certain habits and remind each other of simple matters like correctly using protective equipment is raised.

The goal is for prevention not to be perceived exclusively as an external obligation, but rather to end up being part of the organization's daily operations.

Accidents, near misses, and industrial safety

The episode also addresses the difference between accidents and the so-called near misses: situations in which harm could have occurred, but ultimately did not.

Francisco explains that recording and paying attention to these types of situations can provide information about risks that may not have been previously identified.

During this part of the episode, data and references regarding workplace accidents and regulations are also discussed from the guest's perspective.

How does a days-without-accidents counter work?

SinAccidentes.com manufactures custom signs with different displays.

The simplest model can show:

• Current days without accidents.
• Record of days without accidents.

Depending on the company's needs, more displays can be incorporated to show additional information.

The counter works automatically, so it is not necessary to manually update the number every day. It only requires intervention when it needs to be reset or when data needs to be modified.

WiFi management and possibility of outdoor installation

When it is necessary to modify the sign's data, the system allows connecting to the device via WiFi and making changes from the software provided along with its user manual.

Francisco also explains that there are configurations prepared for both indoor and outdoor use, incorporating the necessary protections depending on the sign's location.

Which companies use this type of solution?

The product is especially aimed at industrial sectors.

During the episode, areas such as the following are mentioned:

• fishing industry,
• manufacturing,
• metal,
• factories and plants with exposure to occupational hazards.

The sign can be incorporated into both new facilities and plants that are already in operation.

A product adapted to corporate identity

SinAccidentes.com has several standardized models, although one of the main features is the possibility of customization.

The signs can be adapted to corporate colors, incorporate the company logo, and be configured based on the information that each plant wants to display.

In this way, the preventive element can be visually integrated into the corporate identity of the space.

An opportunity for signage distributors

One of the points especially interesting for the Signolia audience is the new distributor policy.

SinAccidentes.com wants to work with signage companies that already maintain a professional relationship with industries and that know their facilities, their image needs, and their managers.

The sign maker can incorporate the days without accidents counter into their catalog and market it to their own clients, while SinAccidentes.com takes care of the manufacturing, customization, and configuration of the product.

Occupational Risk Prevention (PRL) companies as a second distribution channel

Companies and professionals specialized in occupational risk prevention represent the second major distributor profile.

These professionals maintain direct contact with safety managers and can detect when a company is looking for new ways to communicate or reinforce its preventive strategy.

The proposal is for them to incorporate the product into their portfolio and present it as a complementary visual tool within their work with companies.

Safety you can see

The episode ends around an idea that summarizes much of the conversation: “Safety you can see”, safety you can see.

For Francisco, the sign represents the company's commitment to safety and helps to take that commitment from documentation to the physical space where the team works.

It is not just about showing how the days go by. The intention is to make prevention visible within the organization.

A NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR THE SIGNAGE SECTOR?

For a sign maker, this type of product has an interesting feature: it can be offered to companies that are already part of their client portfolio.

Factories, logistics centers, warehouses, or industries that already need corporate signs, signage, or visual communication elements are also potential users of solutions related to the visibility of prevention.

SinAccidentes.com is specifically looking for signage companies interested in becoming distributors and marketing the product to their own clients.
