All,

I need to produce a wallet card sized information sheet covering site saftey issues and schools. We are currently working in and around a local school and have offered to speak to the Teachers & Children regards to the dangers of playing or tresspassing on a construction site. The School has declined are offer however, we wish to have a card we can distribute to the local residents affected by the site.

Please does anyone have somethinhg which I might us as a starter?

Many thanks in anticipation.

A real shame the School declined your approach. IMHO somewhat short-sighted.

Some good education resources at:

Do remember to put some low-level viewing panels in your Site hoardings so kids can see what's going on without being tempted to enter the Site.

The quarrying industry have some excellent resources over at http://www.virtualquarry.co.uk/ with info for teachers and students, split according to age. Look at teachers desk - units for the info.

I'm sure the principles contained could be easily adapted.

As others have said, it is a pity the school have chosen not to participate.
