ASSE Kids’ Poster Contest: Entries Due Feb. 14, 2012

The deadline for ASSE’s annual kids’ poster contest to increase awareness of work safety is just around the corner. To enter, a child aged 5-14, must be sponsored by an ASSE member. The winning poster from each of the five age groups will be featured on the annual North American Occupational Safety and Health (NAOSH) Week poster distributed worldwide. The five grand prize winners and 15 runners-up each receive prizes and are recognized at NAOSH kick-off events in Washington, DC, in May 2012. The posters that best illustrate safety on the job will win the contest. Those seeking an ASSE member to request sponsorship can check with their local ASSE chapter. Other links of interest:
