The main cause of the protagonists of this year's campaign is a family and not a bunch of friends, as was customary in previous years is that, according to the director of the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, after talks children do this with their parents and they reflect on the risks.
To facilitate learning using comics in which the student must identify the dangers that surround him in his daily life, as well as CDs in which learn by playing.
The campaign has a website where you can see the activities they are doing and where they hang, as in social networking safety tips.
LOW RATE OF LOSS
The result of this campaign is very positive, in the words of Thomas Perez.
And is that the Region of Murcia is one of the Autonomous Communities with the lowest accident rate.
