Films that can help you reduce risks at work

The production of this film has been funded by a consortium* of European health and safety organisations and professional institutions as part of the European 2008/09 risk assessment publicity campaign. The film sets out the benefits of good health and safety practices through a number of short stories which use humour to help explain important risk messages to a workforce. The film is likely to be most effective when it is used in a training environment.

The film is made up of the following chapters:

  • Caution hazards
  • Assess the risk
  • Identify the unknown
  • Act on risks
  • Risky combination
  • Eliminate the hazard
  • Safety pays

For further information on practical steps to protect people from the risks that cause real harm and suffering, including examples of risk assessments, go to HSE’s online Risk Management guidance at

*The consortium consists of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (based in Bilbao, Spain); AUVA (Austria); DGUV [formerly HVGB] (Germany); HSE (Great Britain); INAIL (Italy); INRS (France); SUVA (Switzerland).
