"ORNL: Safety Dance" is an instructional video with a twist - it incorporates the 1994 ORNL safety slogan, "Safety fits everyone, and you wear it well," with a country music song and line dance in which several ORNL employees participated. The video was filmed both at ORNL and at Cinetel Productions in Knoxville, where The Nashville Network's Club Dance is filmed.
The video was so popular at the DOE's third annual Occupational Safety and Health Conference in San Diego that several DOE contractors and officials, including Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary, requested a copy.
Linville, who served as executive producer of the video, said Alexis Magnotti of Analysas and Tom Jester of Jester-Proud WriterProducers deserved credit for the video as well.
Also receiving awards were: Jon Jefferson in the International Technical Video Competition; David G. Cottrell, Robert L. Schenley, John Cook and Sandra R. Schwartz in the International Technical Arts Competition; and Jim Pearce, Carolyn Krause and Vickie Conner in the International Technical Publications Competition.

ORNL, one of DOE's multiprogram national research and development facilities, is managed by Lockheed Martin Energy Systems, which also manages the Oak Ridge K-25 Site and the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant.
