Building Safety Competition Time!
Building safety matters, and it's never too early to start learning how to spot hazards in the home and think about how to stay safe. That's why we're launching two exciting competitions for children to get involved, learn, and have fun!
Spot the Hazard Challenge
Take a close look at the South Essex Homes living room picture. Something's not quite right Can you find 15 hidden hazards?
Tell us:
- How many hazards you found
- Why each one is dangerous
- Any other safety tips you have!
Remember, finding lots of hazards is great but knowing why they're dangerous is even better!
Write down or type your answers and send them in using the 'How to Enter' details below.
What is a hazard?
A hazard is something that could hurt someone or damage a building. It might be something sharp, hot, broken, or just in the wrong place!
Design a Safety Poster
Time to get creative! Make a poster that shows how to stay safe in buildings, we'll display the winning entries!
You could focus on things like fire safety, lift safety, electrical safety, damp and mould or any other topic you can think of!
Use paint, pens, pencils, collage, or digital art - just make sure it's your own work. Bright colours and creative ideas are encouraged!
Your poster must be no bigger than A3. (Top tip: You can stick two pieces of A4 paper together to make A3)
