Language barrier-breaking cartoon invention nets award

摘要

A language-crossing cartoon character that was created to protect a multicultural workforce from injury and ill health has netted a top health and safety award. The innovation, PePE, is the brainchild of Speedibake. It garnered top prize at the IOSH National Food and Drink Health and Safety Awards 2011 for its simple, effective way of protecting a workforce that speaks more than 13 languages. The award - a joint initiative between IOSH, the Health and Safety Executive and the Food and Drink Manufacture Health and Safety Forum - formed part of the Institution's national food and drink manufacturing conference, held this year in Nottingham in October.
