The project team worked closely with the main contractor and Scaffolding team to create a safety alert video on roads safety alerts for children. This video is used as part of a safety briefing during school visits.
The new road safety video is being shown in Barking schools as part of a campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of crossing the road near heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) and the importance of not playing near building sites.
The ‘Thumbs Up for Safety’ video centres around a young actor called Alfie, aged 9, who is playing with a football with his real-life sister, Emily.
Alfie works out that by giving a ‘thumbs up’ to the driver of a reversing HGV, and by getting a ‘thumbs up’ in return, he can safely cross the road to collect his ball.
Watch the video, below.
