Workplace safety signage that keeps your safety record on screen
Every plant has one — a board by the door counting the days since the last accident. It works because everyone walks past it, but someone has to remember to change it, and the marker pen runs dry the week you hit 500. Workplace safety digital signage moves that number onto a screen, so your safety record, this month's OSHA reminders and the toolbox talk all run on the same display, across every site, updated once from your laptop.
Put your safety record where people actually look
A whiteboard shows a single number. A screen shows the record you are chasing, the run you are on now and why it reset — in the places your crews already pass every shift.
The board by the entrance
Mount a screen where the old accident-free board used to hang. Everyone sees it on the way in, and nobody has to update it by hand.
The break room screen
Keep the counter, the hazard of the week and the current toolbox talk on the screen people watch while they eat, not just at formal briefings.
The shift-change muster point
Put the number full-bleed at the muster point so it lands with the whole crew as they gather for handover.
Your record, not just today
Show the current run against your previous best and the milestone you are working towards. A number in context motivates more than a number alone.
The reset told honestly
When the counter resets after an incident, the screen can carry the reason and the lesson, so the reset is a talking point rather than an awkward blank.
Day-parted for the moment that matters
Run the counter large and full-bleed at shift change, then shrink it to a corner during the rest of the day while other content takes the screen.
Beyond the counter — what else goes on a safety screen
The days-since number is the anchor. Around it, the same screen carries the routine safety messaging that usually lives on a noticeboard nobody reads.
OSHA postings, kept current
Show the OSHA 300A summary during the 1 February to 30 April posting window and the "It's the Law" poster year round, updated once from head office. Fugo displays the postings — it does not assess or certify compliance.
Hazard and PPE reminders
Zone reminders to the area they apply to, so the right PPE prompt shows on the right screen rather than a generic list everywhere.
Near-miss reporting
Keep a reporting reminder and a QR code on screen so a worker can log a near miss from their phone in seconds.
This month's toolbox talk
Rotate the current toolbox talk into the playlist so the message on screen matches what supervisors are covering on the floor.
Bilingual rotation
Alternate language versions through a playlist so mixed-language crews all read the same safety message in their own language.
Milestone celebrations
When a site clears a target, the screen can mark it. Recognising the run is part of keeping the run going.
How a days since last accident counter works on Fugo
Be clear about this before you build it: Fugo has no dedicated "days since" app, and the Countdown app in the App Store only counts down to a fixed deadline, so it cannot do this. Two routes genuinely tick over on their own. One thing does not, and it is worth knowing which is which.
Route 1 — the HTML embed app, self-updating with no spreadsheet
Paste a short snippet into the HTML Embed app's Add My Code field that works out today's date minus your incident date. The arithmetic runs on the player, so the number rolls over at midnight with nobody touching it. Drop the app onto a Design Studio canvas to style it with your branding, or straight into a playlist.
- Recalculates on the player, so it rolls over at midnight on its own
- Style it on a Design Studio canvas or drop it straight into a playlist
- Reset after an incident by changing one date in the code
Route 2 — the Google sheets app, so your safety team owns the number
Put =TODAY()-DATE(2026,1,14) in a cell and point the Google Sheets app at it. The app auto-syncs, so the sheet recalculates daily and the screen follows. This suits teams whose EHS staff already keep an incident log in a sheet and want to own the reset without touching signage.
- The sheet recalculates daily and the screen follows on the next sync
- Your safety team resets the number by editing one cell
- Best when an incident log already lives in a spreadsheet
What Fugo does not do
A plain text layer in Design Studio is static. There are no variables or data-linked fields, so a number typed as text will sit there until someone edits it. Live values reach the canvas through Apps and Dashboards elements only. If you want a hands-off counter, use one of the two routes above rather than typing the number in.
Start from a ready-made safety template
Fugo's template gallery already includes a days without incident poster in landscape and portrait, alongside safety quote and slogan templates. Open one, drop in your counter and your branding, and publish. You are not starting from a blank canvas.

One screen, three kinds of site
The same counter runs on a bright screen by the line on a factory floor, on the dock doors and break room screens of a warehouse or distribution centre, and in the site cabin or welfare unit on a construction job. Each site can show its own number, managed centrally. For the full factory floor story — production KPIs, shift boards and quality metrics — see the manufacturing page rather than repeating it here.
