Children's Safety Video Wins Award

EMP International recently introduced a new children's safety video called BE COOL, PLAY IT SAFE! The quality of this program was confirmed when it won the Certificate for Creative Excellence from the U.S. International Film and Video Festival. Founded in 1968, this annual international festival is considered a leading competition for business, television, industrial, and information productions.

BE COOL, PLAY IT SAFE! covers the leading causes of injury and death for children in the six-to-nine-year age group. The program includes a lively video and accompanying activity book. Both are designed to teach young children ways they can be responsible for their own safety.

BELL ATLANTIC corporation purchased one hundred sets of the video and activity book for employees as part of their "safety month" activities. Word is spreading quickly as to the value of BE COOL, PLAY IT SAFE! in our communities. The Eugene-Springfield, Oregon FOX TV affiliate aired the program recently. Response was so tremendous, plans are already being made to air it again.
