The contractor is currently building a £2.3 million new sports hall facility at the school and the winning poster designs will help ISG Jackson Special Projects reinforce its message about the dangers posed by construction sites.
The judging panel, comprising senior members of the site and the health & safety team, couldn't reach a unanimous verdict on the winning entry, so both Laura and Oliver secured the top prize for their poster designs. In addition to receiving framed copies of their posters, the budding artists also received gift vouchers and both will be able to see their winning posters displayed across the new sports hall site.

Andrew Townsend, ISG Jackson's Senior HSQ&E Manager commented: "The standard of competition entries was very high and it was a difficult task to select just one winner. The children took on board the important messages about the very real dangers encountered on construction sites and produced some excellent poster designs.
"The poster competition forms an important part of our health & safety education programme with younger children, alongside formal talks in assembly and site visits, as the creative process really helps to drive this important message home. Construction sites are never safe places to play and we recognise that as a contractor we have a key responsibility to educate children to these risks."
