BrandSafway have launched a series of hard hitting safety films that challenges each and every one of us to examine the effects that bad decisions and shortcuts can have on our own and others’ safety.

The Cost of Accidents

The first film in the series “The cost of accidents”, was originally produced as an internal safety aid, but has proven such a success that customers have requested hundreds of their own copies, with a percentage of proceeds received by BrandSafway being donated to charity. To add to the number of accolades the film has been receiving from the industry itself, this first film also won a prestigious gold award from the 2007 New York Film festival.

In the real world

“In the real world” is an everyday phrase that can have many different meanings. In this second film decisions are made that can affect safety and these decisions are influenced by real or imagined pressures of the job. In this case the phrase “in the real world” becomes an excuse for short-cuts, which is shown to have a devastating impact on safety and the impact of corporate manslaughter.
