Ivor says… Building sites are all around us - there may even be one close to your house or school. But remember, although they may look exciting and fun to play in, they can be very dangerous places… especially for children. When I’m not working, I regularly visit schools to teach children about the dangers that can be found on building sites, and how to stay safe by staying away. Ivor Goodsite 2013 4 Ivor Goodsite 2013

What have you learnt? You must always read and follow safety signs – they are there to keep YOU safe! You should always be aware of construction sites around your neighbourhood and the dangers inside. If you would like to know more about any building work in your area, you must make sure you ask a responsible adult to help you find out, instead of trying to find out yourself. You should NEVER enter a building site without a responsible adult and the correct protective clothing. Ivor Goodsite 2013 20 Ivor Goodsite 2013
