The winners of the "Occupational Safety Through the Eyes of Children" drawing competition have been determined in the Vitebsk region, as reported to a BELTA correspondent by Oleg Berezyak, Chief State Inspector of the Vitebsk Regional Department of the State Labor Inspectorate of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection.

The competition was held throughout the year among preschool institutions and schools in the Vitebsk region. Over 100 works were submitted to the regional stage based on the results of preliminary regional stages conducted by education departments. Educational institutions from Gluboksky, Dubrovensky, Polotsky, Senno, Chashniksky districts, Novopolotsk, and the Zheleznodorozhny and Oktyabrsky districts of Vitebsk showed particular activity.

The children's drawings are dedicated to the themes of safety in production, agriculture, medicine, education, transport, trade, and other areas of activity. "The submitted works are executed in various techniques and styles, have interesting color and compositional solutions, and good content. Compared to the works of the 2011 competition, the themes and techniques of the drawings have expanded. For example, many posters were submitted," noted Oleg Berezyak, adding that in this regard, the jury decided to allocate them to a separate nomination.

The first place winners in the "Preschool Institutions" nomination were Chashniki kindergarten No. 7 (Chashniksky District Executive Committee Education Department, work by Dasha Samsonova "Dad, don't rush!"); in the "Schools" nomination - Zautye Kindergarten-Secondary School (Miory District Executive Committee Education Department, work by Polina Baslak "Observe safety rules"); in the "Posters" nomination - Novopolotsk Secondary School No. 1 (Novopolotsk City Executive Committee Education Department, work by Polina Romanova "Don't just know the rules, but follow them strictly").

The annual competition "Labor Protection Through the Eyes of Children" is held with the aim of popularizing the fine arts of students, broadening the general horizons of children and drawing students' attention to labor protection issues, as well as fostering an attitude of intolerance towards violations of labor protection requirements among children and adolescents. It is organized by the education department of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee and the Vitebsk Regional Department of the State Labor Inspectorate Department of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection.
