The ISHA (Industrial Safety
and Health Association, which is a tripartite body) will be
conducting an Art Poster Competition on the 14th of October
2005 to Mark the National Safety Week which falls in the 2nd
week of October. The Entry to the Competition was free of
Charge and the posters will be exhibited at the Galadari
Hotel from 9.00 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. Each poster submitted
has been approved by the Company/Organization in which the
participant is being employed.
The posters have been designed
under 3 themes for the Competition which are as follows;
1. Productivity Through Occupational
Safety and Health
2. Machine / Mechanical Safety at the Workplace
3. Let us create a Healthy Workforce
The association received an overwhelming response for this
activity which was evidenced by the large number of creative
posters received as nominations for the competition. It was
also an indication of the commitment of the Employers' and
Employees towards occupational safety and health in the country.
Dissemination of news of the competition was channelled through
Trade Unions, the Department of Labour as well as the Employers'
Federation of Ceylon
Prizes will be awarded under
each of the Themes to those who qualify. The final entries
will be judged by a Tripartite Panel of Judges conversant
with the subject of Occupational Safety and Health.
This event is being sponsored
by the International Labour Organization Colombo and this
activity is expected to create awareness on Occupational Safety
and Health within the workforce of the country.
