Tidiness

A Primary School ran a campaign aimed at adults. The pupils displayed a remarkable ability to understand risk assessment and accident prevention.

The majority of the hazards identified by the pupils involved their own untidiness in cloakrooms and classes. A look at the school’s accident book revealed that most accidents involved pupils running into walls as the school is open plan! The school followed up their initiative with a poetry competition about stress, and the results were published on the HSE website.

"FIEC member federations will be invited to review their health and safety policies and risk assessment procedures towards young people, to organise appropriate awareness raising activities in favour of young workers in the sector, and to disseminate relevant information and good practices. As an industry, we need to achieve tangible progress in this area."
