We give a lesson in safety to local schoolchildren in Carnbroe

We returned to school this week to remind the children at Riverbank Primary in Carnbroe about health and safety as construction at our development of new homes at nearby Calder Wynd is well underway. With the school summer holidays just starting and now that the show homes are open, we were keen to promote the dangers of playing near any construction site. Our visit was a helpful way to raise awareness of the children’s need to be extra vigilant as the building of our new homes progresses.

Being proactive with local schools has proven an effective deterrent in the past, as Deryck Schendel, Regional Health and Safety Advisor for Taylor Wimpey in Scotland, explains: “Health and safety in and around our construction areas is of vital importance to Taylor Wimpey. Taking this type of proactive approach with local schools allows us to reinforce just how important it is for children to stay away from building sites, and it gives us the chance to remind the children that building sites are not playgrounds!”
