Why install a days-without-accident board?

In short — A days-without-accident board makes safety performance visible to everyone, every day. At the site entrance or a busy area, it shows at least the number of days since the last workplace accident and often the record, last accident date and accident pyramid. It supports safety culture, not just counting.

Making safety visible

Accident statistics often stay in dashboards few employees read. An illuminated board at the entrance puts them in front of everyone daily. Each accident-free day moves the counter up; an accident resets it. This simple mechanism makes a collective result tangible.

Building a safety culture

The board supports safety talks, induction of temporary staff and visitors, and prevention messages. With a message area ("HSE information of the week") it shows a current instruction or reminder. The accident pyramid also reminds staff to report near misses and hazardous situations.

Showing company commitment

For visitors, customers and auditors, a well-designed safety performance board in company colours shows the importance given to employee health and safety.

Which indicators to show?

Days without accident (lost-time or not, per your definition)
Accident-free record
Date of last accident
Accident pyramid: lost-time, no-lost-time, first aid, near misses, hazardous situations
Free message or company slogan

Agree with your HSE team on the calculation rule and who updates it.

Where to install it?

At the site entrance, visible to all staff and visitors; in a compulsory passage (clock-in, canteen); at a construction site office. Outdoors, choose a weatherproof board and a height readable from walkways. Our projects include boards on facades, on posts at logistics site entrances and on site cabins.

Which board to choose?

For a simple display, a days-without-accident board with LED counters is enough. For several indicators and messages, an HSE display fits better. Think about language: many sites choose bilingual French-Arabic or French-English displays.
