XPROTX POSTEReee90febXPROTX MUPRESPA FOR APRIL 28

The theme and design of the poster for April 28 for this year 2010 has been based on the basic idea of ​​prevention. The choice of a cardboard egg cup has been motivated by the proximity of this object to all of us and the proven effectiveness of its use in preventing domestic accidents.

On such a special day Fraternidad Muprespa, as it is April 28 (world day for safety and health at work), it is important that all parties involved, both employees and employers and the different organizations, become aware of the need to use all available means to apply them in occupational prevention. In order to try to convey this message, the motto “ Don't let your guard down... in prevention”.

Working with this phrase and the need to put all the necessary means for prevention within a work environment, a poster is created, where a scene composed of an everyday object close to everyone is presented, which transmits the message of the importance of preventing in advance and thus avoiding greater evils in a work environment and by extension in the daily life of each person.

The composition tries to give greater importance to the egg cup, as a means of prevention (which is why it is highlighted with a colored border), compared to its content, the eggs (a metaphor for the fragility of a worker faced with a work environment without a preventive study whose only defense would be a simple helmet).
