I did a day-long workshop in NYC in 2018 on teaching chemistry to students with disabilities, for faculty and student services personnel. As "swag," they got a thumb drive with an electronic version of the CWD manual teaching Chemistry to Students with Disabilities" and the CCS "Safety in Academic Chemistry Labs" as well as a number of other relevant resources, including the PowerPoints from the speakers. The thumb drives cost a bit less than $3 each and the response was excellent.

I’m giving a presentation next week to Keene’s State upper class course on safety training.
One question that I’d like to address during the presentation is whether "safety training swag" has value. Over the years, programs I have been involved in have given away a variety of things for people to take with them after training, including:
- paper handouts of the presentation
- paper summaries of the key points of the content
- certificates of training
- lab gloves
- magnets with pithy sayings and/or key phone numbers to place on lab equipment
- opportunities to win gift certificates for food at the campus facilities
- EHS branded trinkets
Beyond food at the event itself, none of these seem to have much impact on the audience, either at the time or over the longer period. I wonder if anyone knows of any studies that have assessed the value of this practice?
Thanks for any help with this.
