We recently won a tender to develop and implement a safety awareness campaign (with a local twist) for the Transnet National Ports Authority of Durban.

With the infrastructural development and activity taking place around the port (the largest container port in the Southern Hemisphere, and the busiest port in Africa!), the brief was for something eye-catching and memorable to encourage increased personal safety awareness and kick off a programme to change workplace safety behaviour patterns.

Enter Bafo (‘brother’ in isiZulu) – the ‘everyman’ Transnet employee we created to carry the message to employees in a accessible, credible fashion. Bafo embodies colloquial and cultural charm – and will become a key character in carrying the Look Sharp Live Safe safety awareness message, which launched early this year to the Transnet staff. Elements of the campaign include visibility in all staff work and rest areas, outdoor at key traffic points, an incentive to achieve safety targets and personalised sms messaging to staff, all adding up to a colourful roll out.

Thanks to Transnet for giving us the chance to play our part in keeping your people safe.
