Water plant warning for Lothian schoolchildren
SCHOOLCHILDREN are being warned against playing near to the site of a new multi-million-pound water treatment plant.
Scottish Water is currently constructing the plant at Glencorse to help improve drinking supplies for Edinburgh.
The company recently completed the first phase of an education programme for three local schools, with children learning a number of important issues including health and safety.
Senior project manager Richard Anderson said: "We currently have more than 150 skilled construction workers on site and each of them has completed a course in health and safety. They wear special clothing including high-visibility jackets and hard hats.
"They have a detailed knowledge of the site and its workings and each morning take part in a briefing to further highlight what work is being carried out on-site each day. Construction sites can be extremely dangerous, and not a place for children or even unsupervised adults."
