International Media Festival for Prevention: The best films for occupational safety and health will be awarded

Frankfurt (ots) -

Films and multimedia applications are vital instruments of safety and
health at work. Whether for the purpose of increasing risk awareness
on the part of employees or providing information on comprehensive
safety topics: moving images support the transfer of knowledge.

Media makers have to keep up-to-date since viewing habits and
technological developments are constantly changing. What is happening
today? What are the trends? How do other countries convey prevention
messages? The International Media Festival for Prevention provides
answers to these interesting questions and gives a broader worldview.
The Festival will take place within the framework of the XX World
Congress on Safety and Health, to be held from 24 to 27 August 2014
in Frankfurt am Main.

International Feedback

The International Media Festival for Prevention is not only a
unique platform for ideas and exchange, but also provides an
opportunity to present your own products to an international public
of experts in safety and health at work. Clients and producers have
the opportunity to obtain international feedback from all around the
world.
