NAPO’s films produced by the European Agency for Safety and Health at work to promote health and safety in your business

Napo is the hero of a series of animated films co-produced by a small group of European organizations.

The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) based in Bilbao, Spain has funded the creation of a website to enable SMEs and organizations in general to use Napo’s films to raise awareness workers for safer, healthier and better workplaces.

The films are not intended to cover specific topics in depth, nor are they educational in nature. However, the cheerful way in which safety and health issues are presented is easier to remember and can trigger discussions around these issues. The likable character embodies a worker who could be employed in any industry or field.
