Who is Napo?

Napo for teachers

The origins of Napo

Napo is the hero in a series of animated films,

co-produced by a small group of European
organisations, to introduce important
workplace safety and health topics in
amemorable, light-hearted way. The likeable
character symbolises an employee who
could be working in any industry or sector.

The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work,

together with the Napo Consortium, is working on a project
to introduce health and safety topics to primary school
children in an educational yet fun and imaginative way,
using Napo clips and creative activities. The consortium has
devised a series of educational toolkits on workplace safety
and health, with lessons targeted at children between the
ages of 7 and 11.

Napo is an original idea conceived by a group of

occupational safety and health communications
professionals in response to the need for high-quality
information products to break down national boundaries
and address the diverse cultures, languages and practical
needs of people at work.

His stories have an educational value; they

may provoke questions and stimulate
debate on specific aspects of safety and
health at work.
The Napo films are language free, so that
people of all backgrounds and cultures
can understand and identify with the
character, from young employees to senior
management alike.
In the films, Napo often finds himself the victim of common
situations over which he has no control, highlighting the
hazards that can exist in the workplace. But he can identify
hazards and risks and provide practical solutions or make
suggestions to improve safety and work organisation. In this
sense he is an ideal employee as he is actively involved in
the risk assessment process.

Each study pack outlines the key messages and learning

objectives, offering teachers full details on suggested
activity ideas and the resources required, alongside
asample lesson plan that can be readily incorporated into
atypical 45-minute lesson.
Having been successfully piloted, the lesson plans are being
expanded and developed for roll-out across Europe.

The film consortium AUVA (Austria), DGUV (Germany),

HSE (United Kingdom), INAIL (Italy), INRS (France), SUVA
(Switzerland) and the European Agency for Safety and
Health at Work emerged from the European Year of
Health and Safety at Work 1992 and the European film
festival held in Thessaloniki in 1992. They met to discuss
ways in which it might be possible to commission and
produce videos for use across Europe.
The first video, Best signs story, featured at the EU film
festival in Edinburgh in 1998, and won awards at the
world congress in So Paulo in 1999 and at national film
festivals in France and Germany.
Since then Napo has helped to highlight the hazards in the
workplace throughout Europe. He also takes part in EUOSHAs pan-European Healthy Workplaces Campaign
as a key communicator of campaign messages.
