Workplace Safety: Children's Drawing Contest Held at the Plant

In honor of the World Day for Safety and Health at Work, celebrated annually on April 28, a children's drawing contest titled “Workplace Safety Through the Eyes of Children – 2025” was held at the Dnieper Railway Switch Plant. The event was organized by the trade union committee in cooperation with the plant’s occupational safety department.

The goal of the contest was to raise awareness about workplace safety and to help children understand the importance of protecting life and health at work. After all, children are the best motivators for ensuring safe working conditions for ourselves and those around us. Their sincerity and imagination often inspire more than any strict instruction manual.

Children of plant employees aged 5 to 14 were invited to participate. Drawings were submitted to the occupational safety department by April 18. In their artworks, the young participants depicted modern production, safety rules, and protective equipment, emphasizing their importance in daily work.

Based on the results, the jury selected winners in three age categories from nearly sixty participants. All children received letters of appreciation, while the winners were awarded memorable prizes and warm support from the plant's team. We are proud of our talented children and thank their parents for their enthusiasm and support of union initiatives.

This contest became not only a creative event but also an important reminder: workplace safety concerns each of us — and those who wait for us at home.
