YOUNGSTERS at Nunnery Wood Primary School were given a lesson in how to stay safe around construction sites from St Modwen Homes.
Led by senior site manager Paul Daniels alongside the Considerate Constructors’ mascot ‘Ivor Goodsite’, the assembly covered key safety messages and asked pupils to identify the large machinery and other potential dangers, such as scaffolding and deep holes.
Following the assembly, pupils were asked to design a poster to highlight the hazards on a building site. The winning posters, as judged by St Modwen Homes, will be displayed on the hoarding at Weogoran Park.
Headteacher Rachel Higgins said: “Many of our pupils live on or near new housing developments, some of which are still partly under construction, so it was a really useful exercise for us to have St Modwen Homes come in and teach the children about the associated dangers.”
