The aquarium underwent a health and safety check which was carried out by a local Cub Scout group. The Coastguard and Fire Service were invited down another day to help raise awareness.

A health and safety prize draw was organised and, to try and raise awareness among children, a fire engine was parked in front of the building providing information about dangers they may come across. On the whole, both events went very well and there are more people aware of health and safety in and around our area because of them.

"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."
