I have been asked to give a talk to an infant school, about the dangers on sites.

As I am more used to "talking" to, shall we say, a more advanced audience, does anybody out there have a presentation that would cover this subject.

Many thanks

Find a site called "splat" via search engines.
Everything you need is there. Have a go at the game, its good for adult learning too.

Shame the links on this website, relating to the children's competition about safety on construction sites for European H&S Week 2004, no longer works! Perhaps someone at IOSH can send you the factsheet that was produced at the time?

Thanks for all of your help, this lot should keep the little "Angels" quiet for a while.

There's a good video around called "building sites bite"

You may need a Google search for it.

Andrew.

Don't assume that anything will keep the little darlings 'quiet'. In a former life, I used to do primary school 'talks', and found that any plans I had made about what I intended to say or how I wanted the session to go usually went out the window with the first kid saying 'my granny said...'. This was invariably followed by a general discussion, with everyone near wetting themselves trying to get in their two-pennorth.

Approach the topic in an open minded way, allow the kids to tell you what they already know (you can't stop them anyway....) and enjoy the experience. Keep it simple and if you have an hour scheduled, then plan on talking for no more than ten minutes. The kids will fill the rest of the time quite well.

I found it incredibly refreshing to have open minds undimmed by years of being told to 'shut up', but it was very daunting at first...

Enjoy!

The HSE produce an excellent video called 'Game over' aimed at 7 to 11 year olds. We use it extensively as it is not only gets the message across but it is usually well received. You can get it from HSE books for £25.

Kids love to get dressed up so we used to take along various items of PPE and dress up one of two children, explaining why the worker has to wear them to keep them safe. You can then make the point that they don't have the PPE and would not be safe on site without it.

We would then finish by showing "Game Over" or "Building Sites Bite" (bit dated now)

After the formal session all the kids can then try on some of the PPE if time permits.

Hope this helps
Martyn
