Manitoba’s creepy effort to raise youth awareness of workplace safety
 
There have been plenty of “shock and awe” tactics used over the years to raise safety awareness. Now, SAFE Work Manitoba has unleashed “Creepaway Camp,” which features horror-genre summer camp videos that illustrate workplace dangers. Videos include “Boneshaker” (where a girl’s foot is crushed by a tractor); “Spilled Blood” (where a girl slips and falls); and “Cabin 13” (where a boy is electrocuted).
