At the beginning of each project the company engages with the local primary and secondary schools in conjunction with our client partners and carries out a site safety presentation with the children to teach them about the dangers of a construction site, but also to promote the career opportunities within the construction industry.
Our most recent presentations took place at Gorslas Primary school and Cefneithin Primary School in Carmarthenshire, where we invited along the ‘Ivor Goodsite’ character from Considerate Constructor as a fun and entertaining way to communicate our messages with the children. We find that this interaction combined with school visits to the sites fully capture the children’s imagination and gave the message of sites being a dangerous place.
