‘Design a Safety Poster’ 31.10.2005

— filed under:
‘Design a Safety Poster’

The Council launched a countywide "Design a Safety Poster" competition which attracted 560 entries. There were four prizes, one of which was won by an 88-year old, which proves you´re never too old to think about safety!

The winning posters were made into a calendar that was distributed to all departments to keep safety on everyone’s minds throughout the year. The programme included workstation assessments and safety inspection blitzes, and a Health and Safety Awareness Day at a school, which attracted more than 300 people. Later in the Week, at a different school, a similar but larger-scale day included local Fire and Rescue Services as well as local police.

"FIEC, together with its Social Partner EFBWW, has been promoting health and safety initiatives for many years. We are convinced that one of the most promising ways towards achieving a real improvement is through the implementation of appropriate health and safety training for youngsters entering our sector. This will increase the overall awareness of risks and the possibilities of avoiding them. Consequently, FIEC wholeheartedly supports the aims of the 2006 OSHA campaign."

Ulrich Paetzold, Director General of FIEC
