2010 Student Video Safety Contest - How to Say "No" to Unsafe Work

Being able to talk about safety to your boss is very important. Many workplace injuries happen as a result of poor communication. If you are not sure about how to do any part of your job safely --- ask your supervisors. They will help you --- and respect you for asking. Remember if the task in your job is too dangerous or you were not trained on how to do it safely --- don't do it.

WorkSafeBC is inviting all BC students to submit creative safety videos into the 5th Annual Student Video Contest.

We welcome students' original productions - video clips and animations. For the first time this year, we are also inviting students to submit a video mashup. To create a mashup you can use any WorkSafeBC video and combine it with your original audio or original video footage. For the complete list of WorkSafeBC videos go to the Multimedia/Video section of the WorkSafeBC website:
http://www2.worksafebc.com/Publications/Multimedia/Videos.asp?ReportID=35133

Deadline for submissions is Thursday, April 15, 2010.
