WorkSafeNB announces the winners of its provincial 2018 Focus on Safety Youth Video contest. The contest engaged New Brunswick high school students to create a two-minute video that showcases how they focus on safety.
“All the entries were creative and showed great ingenuity,” said Doug Jones, WorkSafeNB president and CEO. “I commend all the high school students who took the time and effort to show their commitment to health and safety.”
“I especially want to congratulate our winners – Alexandre, Benjamin and Mathieu of Moncton. They did an excellent job demonstrating the right way to do a lockout procedure. Their integration of music and use of close and long shots helped to convey very important safety messages.”
