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.

"During their education, at school and university, students are prepared for their future trade or profession. The studies develop technical expertise and competence as well as an intellectual capability to solve problems. They may be initiated in data processing, informatics, communication, accounting, marketing, administration and/or legal issues. It is, however, extremely rare to find health and safety at work being taught to non-practitioners as part of their general education programme."
