Speak Up, Stay Safe

Film (Duration in minutes)

02:58 minutes

Product description

The film follows a young woman as she moves through the Olympic park, observing her reactions and thoughts about health and safety risks as they arise. It uses voice over, fantasy sequences and music to create a sympathetic character that learns how to cope with the risks a Games worker will face and where she ‘finds’ her voice. The film starts with a brief contextual sequence with the CEO and Chair of LOCOG explaining how the construction of the Games has been the safest on record. This sets the expectation that all those working on the Games are now required to continue. It is 2 minutes 58 seconds long.

Aims and objectives

The message was to make health and safety a priority during the Olympics and speak up if you see something wrong. Given that people will be working on a large, busy and unfamiliar event, it is important that health and safety is firmly embedded in people’s minds for their own, their colleagues and public safety, as well as for reputational reasons.

The audience were the 200,000 volunteers and contractors working on the London 2012 Olympic Games. They represent an extremely diverse group from stewards to caterers, and from a very varied professional and cultural background.
