Description

The music video 'If I knew', which won the 2015 National Institute of Research and Security (INRS) film contest, was created by second-year spray painting apprentices (CAP Carrosserie Peinture, Bordeaux). It addresses the risks of spray painting and gives advice on the use of safety equipment, all through the genre of hip-hop.

The video shows a person who is suffering from severe ill-health as a result of toxic substances (organic solvents). He remembers that he used to be a careless apprentice who did not take preventive measures (exhaust ventilation, personal protective equipment respirator) during painting.
