Safety Gear
Step one: Safety Gear. Workers wear hard hats, bright vests, strong boots, and safety harnesses clipped to secure points. Each piece protects them in a different way.
Safe Edges
Step two: Safe Edges. Edges have railings and nets. Tools are tied so they cannot drop on anyone below.
Teamwork

A Closer Look
Let's take a closer look! Hard hats protect heads. Bright vests help people be seen. Harnesses stop falls. Nets catch things.
Quick Facts
Quick facts! Many construction sites hold daily safety meetings. Kids should always stay out of building sites. Tools are tied to belts. Lightning stops the work.
Think Like a Scientist
Now, think like a scientist! Design a safety poster for a building site. Draw a worker wearing safety gear. Write at least four safety rules. Make it bright and easy to read. Share it with a grown-up.
