The construction firm visited St Patrick’s R.C Primary School in Cardiff to educate school children about construction site dangers<\/h2>\n

Industry professionals took the construction industry’s trustee mascott ‘Honor Goodsite’ along to the school for a day of fun and education.<\/p>\n

Together they talked to the children about exciting careers within the construction industry, the dangers and hazards on a construction<\/a> site and about the\u00a0personal protective equipment (PPE) used by construction workers.<\/p>\n

The pupils were given the opportunity to try on hard hats and high-vis jackets themselves while Gerwyn Landrygan, project manager at JG Hale Construction, was also on-hand to answer any questions from the children about the construction industry.<\/p>\n

Mrs Swain, acting head teacher of St Patricks R.C. Primary School, said: \u201cThis was a great opportunity for the children to learn about the dangers of building sites. Honor is a larger than life character so I\u2019m sure they will remember her and her message about how to stay safe if they are close to a building site in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mascott was created by Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS)<\/a> to help teach school children about the potential dangers and hazards on a construction site faced on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

David Harrhy, managing director of JG Hale Construction, said: \u201cOur visit to St Patricks R.C. Primary School was a perfect chance to see what the younger generation think about construction and its industry.<\/p>\n

“It was great to hear so much enthusiasm from the children, especially when teaching them the valuable lessons about how to be safe around construction sites. We recently ran a poster competition at Coedffranc Primary School in Neath, with the similar aim of teaching children about the hazards present at construction sites.<\/p>\n

“Our hope is to do similar visits to other schools in the future to encourage more children to consider careers within the construction industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

The visit was organised in relation to a new development near the school on Penarth Road, which Hale are constructing on behalf of\u00a0Taff Housing Association<\/a>, a housing association committed to Building Foundations for Better Futures.<\/p>\n
