Make sure you carry out the relevant checks when working with children
We have previously highlighted many of the roles which storage containers can play in today’s society. As part of this we have looked into the benefit these can have on a local community both financially and also in terms of the added opportunities which they provide.
However, depending on the function of the container, we would advise that in certain circumstances extra special care is taken.
The case in point refers to a little boy in a Manchester nursery who was locked in a container which was being used as a toy store. Benjamin Sangi became locked in the container for several hours before anxious parents and staff members found him.
When employing storage containers to benefit young children, particularly within a nursery or school setting, then it is imperative that you make certain that nobody is still inside the structure when you come to lock it. Due to the properties of the structure small containers make struggle to make the required amount of noise to indicate that they are still in it, and therefore you should conduct a thorough check that it is empty before leaving.
A little common sense in using the containers will mean that these continue to play a safe and valued role within every setting possible.
