Award Winning Chinese Safety Video
A very different safety video made in the Republic of China (Taiwan) won first first place at an international film festival. You can view the video on the web site of the International Social Security Association. I don't feel this video will deliver a strong safety message in the typical American workplace culture, but it may be useful when training workers from Asian cultures.
The following is a press release announcing the award:
The Republic of China Institute of Occupational Safety and Health won first place at the International Film Festival in Seoul, Korea during the XVIII World Congress on Safety and Health at Work: A Global Forum for Prevention, Safety and Health at Work: A Societal Responsibility. The International Film and Multimedia Festival attracted 115 films and 50 multimedia applications from 25 countries, and brought a wide range of topics, new and old, to the attention of the Juries.
The Nick of Time, produced by the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, Council of Labor Affairs in Taiwan, Republic of China, was awarded a first prize for a very different approach. Taking the concept that "Death is watching", the film uses animation to present the many risks and dangers facing workers, and how their attitude to safety is critical in avoiding injury. The Jury commended the excellent quality of the film, and applauded the original approach.
