Description
The film aims to raise awareness of risks from working with chemicals in confined spaces. Napo is shown lacquering a tank from the inside with a coating that is classified as toxic and exposive, without any inhalation protection. As he starts feeling dizzy and cannot read the coating label, he lights a fire to better see and the tank explodes.
Poor standards of maintenance are a major cause of occupational accidents and diseases. Many accidents happen during maintenance work, because of a lack of maintenance or as a result of poor-quality maintenance.
This film is suitable for all sectors and all levels of employees, seeks to promote good practice and draws attention to the importance of safe maintenance.
