We deliver site safety talk for school children in Penshaw

Pupils of New Penshaw Academy, in Sunderland, have learnt some important lessons in health and safety thanks to a visit from members of our North East team.

Safety first

With construction underway at our Herrington View development, Site Manager, Lee Twizell, and Regional Health and Safety Executive, Jennifer Noakes, held sessions with pupils in each year group to discuss the importance of site safety. 

During these talks, pupils from the nursery right up to Year 6 heard all about the importance of health and safety, as well as how it feeds into the house building process. Pupils were also gifted a copy of Taylor Wimpey’s very own activity book to take away with them.

Jennifer Noakes, Regional Health and Safety Executive, said: “We were really pleased to be invited to New Penshaw Academy to teach local children about the importance of health and safety within the housebuilding sector. 

“With our Herrington View development nearby, the children were all curious about the building process and we are hopeful that our talk gave them valuable lessons in staying safe on and around housing developments.
