Some tips to help you produce your video:

It is extremely important, as you promote the importance of a safe work environment to your peers, that you protect the personal health and safety for your cast, crew, and others working on the video.

Develop a slogan or message, using your own words.

Check out other student-created videos to help with ideas.

Go to www.orosha.org and find information about Oregon's Young Worker Program on the Education page.

Speak clearly so your message can be understood by all.

Get your friends involved so your video has more than one voice.

Use humor, puns, and clever twists of phrasing. Make it entertaining.

Use music.

Emphasize young worker health and safety.

• Special laws protect young people, so make sure you know your rights on the job.
• Young workers need to know how to recognize hazards, and should speak up when they see something wrong.
• Employers are responsible for providing a safe workplace and training on how to stay safe at work.
• If you don't know how to do the job, ask for help.
• Make sure you know how to do your work safely.
• Good co-workers and friends look out for each other.
• Focus on a particular hazard, choosing one that is common in places where young people work: slippery floors, hot grease and hot surfaces, knives, box-cutters and other sharp tools, heavy or awkward lifting, dangerous machinery, pesticides, and ladders.

Remember, we are looking for positive messages to share with others your age. Your submission should be innovative and creative with a strong youth perspective on workplace safety.
