As part of its health and safety talk to nearby Wallacewell Primary School, Taylor Wimpey West Scotland challenged the children to design a health and safety poster that would remind the local community of the dangers associated with playing near any construction site.

The standard of entries was so impressive that seven designs were selected to be included within a banner to be displayed at the development. The children each won a £15 national book voucher.

It is important to be proactive and work with local schools, as Deryck Schendel, regional health and safety advisor for Taylor Wimpey in Scotland, explained: “Health and safety in and around our construction areas is so important to Taylor Wimpey. As a follow-up activity to our in-school health and safety presentation, our poster challenge is a great way for children to demonstrate what they learned during our visit.”

Mrs Taylor, depute head teacher at Wallacewell Primary School, added: “Following Taylor Wimpey’s health and safety presentation, the children were tasked with creating health and safety posters. The designs on the banners for the development are colourful and striking, and we are very proud of our children’s efforts to remind the wider local community never to play near a live construction site.”
