A GROUP of children from a Droitwich school have learnt the importance of health and safety after a visit from a local housebuilder.
Pupils at Westacre Middle School were visited by Miller Homes Midlands who held an interactive assembly showing how new homes are created, what the future of house building could look like, and the hazards on construction sites.
The company also hosted a poetry competition about safety on site, which was won by Year 6 pupil, Emily Horton.
Health, safety and environmental advisor, Alec Arnold, said: “Being aware of health and safety procedures is at the heart of everything we do at Miller Homes,” Alec said.
“We aim to make sure that children nearby any of our developments, such as those at Ravens Croft in Droitwich, are clued up when it comes to potential dangers on a building site.
“The assembly and competition proved to be great ways to engage young people in this potentially serious matter.”
