An electrical contractor gave schoolchildren the opportunity to visit a construction site to learn about the dangers of using them as playgrounds.

All employees were put through a written construction-related quiz and a safety course called ‘Working safely in the electrotechnical industry’ was developed as well as a cartoon-style brochure to reiterate the dangers of construction sites.

President of FIEC
"Health and Safety has been high on the agenda of the construction industry for a very a long time. It is everyone's responsibility to avoid accidents on construction sites, which typically range from falls from heights to the unsafe handling of dangerous substances. FIEC re-confirms its long-standing and ongoing determination to contribute to a continuous real improvement in the sector's health and safety record among young construction workers. This will have a leverage effect on all construction site workers."

Wilhelm Küchler, President of FIEC
