Totty Construction, the northern-based main contractor, has been awarded the final phase of the high profile Brewery Wharf residential development, by Barratt Leeds.
Dr David Resendez, Totty Construction's group health and safety advisor led the judging panel and was particularly impressed with the quality of entries received.
"The need to alert children to the very real dangers that construction sites pose has led us to launch this latest safety initiative".
"In addition to formal talks in assembly we have found that by engaging pupils through a creative channel we can really get the health and safety message through".
"The overall standard of entries from Birkby Junior School was really very high and choosing one winner was not an easy task".
"Eventually we decided that Samir's poster best highlighted the message that we want all children to take on board about site safety".
"With strong use of colour, great visual presence and the clever caption, 'only one of these is a playground' we are delighted that this poster will now be displayed around a host of Totty sites to reinforce our commitment to safety".
Samir was presented with a framed copy of his winning entry and £50 worth of vouchers at a ceremony in front of the entire school, where Totty Building Services is currently on target to complete a £1.5 million project to re-roof and refurbish the grade II listed school buildings by Christmas.
