​

​

The purpose of this slide deck is to:

• Provide guidance in communicating a new topic or EHS requirement to audiences, including the DSC* and/or SAC** committees. This guidance is designed to help you communicate clearly, succinctly, and effectively.�
• Provide visual formatting ideas, and information design ideas to help in organizing and presenting your information/talking points.�
• Lend visual continuity to all EHS presentations, based on the Lab’s style guide and PowerPoint template developed by Creative Services.

Guidelines for EHS Presentations

Many EHS presentations are intended to:

• Communicate the status of ongoing EHS initiatives or upcoming initiatives
• Communicate new or changed requirements, and to answer questions/gather committee feedback�

Keep the following points in mind when preparing a DSC/SAC presentation:

• Communicate a clear purpose by answering who, what, when, why and how
• What is the requirement or initiative, and why is it being introduced (what are the drivers)
• Have you benchmarked with other Labs, and if so, what did you discover
• Who at LBNL is affected / impacted
• When will this requirement take effect (timeline), and how will the initiative/requirement be implemented
• What support is available to help the target audience learn about the requirement and to implement it�
• If presenting a new initiative or a new/changed requirement:
• Inform your supervisor to get their input and support
• Share the presentation with the EHS Requirements Manager (Heather Madison) to get guidance/feedback

EHS/Performance Support Team�Research-based design tips for your presentations.

​

​

​

Font Tips

​

• Avoid using underlines for emphasis; use bold and/or italic instead
• Underlined text and colored text are easily mistaken for clickable text

The following presentation serves as an example

5

• The following slides present a mock presentation using Ergonomics as the topic for a DSC meeting
• The speaker notes section explains the choices for each slide from a design perspective
• The design is based on the principles presented in the provided resources on the previous slide

​

NOTE: The example is fictional. It is not an actual LBNL Ergonomics Group presentation, and is not intended to represent their program. The content is simply to illustrate designing a presentation.��To experience the animations and “flow” you need to view in Presentation Mode and click through the slides.

To view the notes you need to be in “design mode.”

EHS Performance Support team provides communications support. We can work with you to help develop communication materials or simply to serve as a sounding board for ideas.�
