A 1980 film that encourages safe practices for workers on construction sites. The film presents examples of common factors that lead to industrial accidents, in occupations including electricians, carpenters, metal workers and bricklayers. Opening with scenes of a funeral, and presenting dramatic sequences of each accident, the narrator introduces each character and the careless practices leading to mishaps, dangerous accidents and death.
Produced by the Tasmania Film Corporation for the Department of Labour and Industry.
The colour is faded throughout the film.
