Traffic survey 31.10.2005

— filed under:

The six and seven year olds of this school carried out a research project involving the plus and minus points of travelling to school by car - something that almost half the children did.

They concluded that this caused problems such as traffic congestion, pollution and safety hazards when crossing roads. They decided that more effort should be made to encourage people to leave their cars at home and outlined ideas on what could be done to help this along. All this was presented at a special Health and Safety Week assembly.

"European Weeks have turned into a real trademark. In Austria much is being done. Seventeen labour inspectorates realised projects with partner schools, and the outcomes will be presented in October during a conference in Vienna. We also issued a special ‘Safe Start’ postage stamp on the day of the launch.
I am convinced that this European Week will contribute to a further improvement of health and safety at work, and I wish everyone great success."
