It’s time now to get entries ready for the 2012 O[yes] workplace safety video contest! Entries are due no later than February 1.

This year is the 4th year that O[yes], the Oregon Young Employee Safety Coalition, has sponsored this contest. O[yes] is “looking for video entries that will inspire teens to do at least one thing differently to stay safe on the job. The video should be creative and targeted for a youth audience. Create a video that you would be proud to show your friends.” Interested teens should make sure and read all of the contest rules, view previous years’ videos and other resources shared on the video contest website.

Last year’s 1st place winning video, created by Piers Dennis, Derek Sturman, Owen Madin and Devin White, was recognized by Federal OSHA and highlighted on OSHA’s Distracted Driving webpage.

So encourage any Oregon high school students that you know to get rolling – we can’t wait to see this year’s entries!
