In the song, Tuku encourages workers to contribute towards the creation of a safe working environment.
Stressing the point that every human endeavour is associated with risks, Tuku reminds workers that despite efforts by various stakeholders to set safety standards, workers should not be negligent.
The 3-minute, 55-second track produced by Tuku Music was sponsored by the National Social Security Authority.
Participants at the conference who had the opportunity to be the first to hear the song expressed optimism that the attitude of workers towards safety would be transformed through entertainment.
