The Healthy Workplaces Film Award honours the best documentary on work-related topics. The award is presented by EU-OSHA at the International Leipzig Festival for Documentary and Animated Film (DOK Leipzig).
In addition to the €8,000 prize fund, 1,000 copies of the winning film will be produced in a selection of eight EU languages and distributed across Europe by EU-OSHA.
In 2011 the award was presented to German director Carmen Losmann for her film Work Hard Play Hard, an exploration of modern theories of work organisation and management. The 2010 prize winner was Czech director Tomas Kudrna for his film All that Glitters about working conditions in a goldmine in Kyrgyzstan. The first edition in 2009 was presented to Dutch director Ton Van Zantvoort for A Blooming Business which shows the painful working conditions in a globalised flower industry.
