‘Best Signs Story’ 31.10.2005

— filed under:
‘Best Signs Story’

The college put together a large display in the reception which included continuous playing of the video ‘Best Signs Story’.

The theme was safety signs and the display included dozens of actual signs reinforcing the message of the video. All staff were issued with an accident quiz and students were encouraged to take part in a hazard-spotting competition which was also open to visitors and contractors, and the first four out of the hat won gift tokens.

"Our message is that we all share responsibility for protecting young people at work. Employers have a duty of care and are legally responsible for the health and safety of their workers, and EU law recognises that young people need special protection. But this is also an issue for parents, for health and safety professionals, and for the education community. And ultimately, it's an issue for policymakers. We all have to work together, to make sure that young people have a safe and healthy start to their working lives."
