This can be achieved using effective communication that meets the growing needs of information workers who become, in this way, an active and involved in the prevention system. Acting on communication means creating a space of encounter between all the actors of prevention in order to encourage the strengthening of the value of security and above all encourage the adoption of safe behavior.

According to the US economist Philip Kotler "social marketing is the use of the principles and techniques of marketing to influence the decision of a target group to accept, reject, or modify, voluntarily abandon a behavior in order to obtain a benefit for individuals, groups or society as a whole ".
