With the Christmas season fast approaching, schools imminently breaking up for the term and darker morning and nights, one of Santa’s top elves is assisting leading developer Barratt and David Wilson Homes to promote ‘elf’ and safety.
Whilst schools may be out for Christmas, Barratt and David Wilson Homes’ construction workers will still be active on new homes developments throughout Essex, so it’s vital that children living in the area are reminded to be safe around building sites.
It’s so important, that Santa has entrusted one of his elves to take time out of the workshop to visit Barratt and David Wilson Homes’ sites in Essex. With his hi-vis vest and hard hat in tow, the elf is setting the standard and wants to remind kids to stay on Santa’s nice list by remaining safe and avoiding building sites.
Tom Wright, Managing Director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes Eastern Counties, said: “It’s only natural for children to want to explore, so when they are out playing in the local area, it’s important that we remind them to be responsible and stay away from building sites.
“They can be dangerous places, so with the help of Santa’s little helper, we hope to remind all residents in and around our communities to think of their ‘elf’ and safety this Christmas.”
Employees at Barratt and David Wilson Homes from across the country host site visits and hold regular safety talks for schools, to encourage site safety and highlight the hazards of playing on or near construction sites.
