Children and Building Sites

In the last five years 6 children have been killed whilst playing on construction sites and a further 524 have been injured. What seems like harmless fun to many children can lead to terrible accidents causing serious injury or worse.

That is why it's so important to communicate with young children about the importance of health and safety issues surrounding a building site.

Redrow has been visiting schools and presenting a health and safety warning message to children for many years. Our experienced health and safety and construction staff explain the dangers associated with playing on a building site.

Children are also shown a video that demonstrates the hazards, and are told the importance of wearing high visibility clothing if entering a construction area.

The Buster Rules OK! health and safety pack can be used as a stand-alone activity or to support presentations made by Redrow professionals.

Buster the Bear is an engaging character for children who can help teachers to deliver an important message in a friendly and fun way. He is always dressed in health and safety clothing to reinforce the precautions necessary on a building site.

The Buster Rules OK! A4 activity pack is suitable for primary school children aged between 5 and 11 years old. It includes a welcome letter, two puzzle sheets, and an activity colouring poster.
