POKÉMON GO WARNING |
|
No, we are serious!
|
I’m sure you’ve all heard
of the Pokémon Go craze taking over our street, parks, shopping centres,
and sometimes even in our own front yards. They aren’t hard to spot,
they are usually in small groups, or gaggles as I’ve named them, and
they aren’t necessarily just young people, the odd mum & dad, nana etc.
have been seen in these gaggles; anyhow, they are the ones wandering
around, heads down, being guided by the thrill of catching little
Pokémon balls and then to go on to hurl, all virtual of course, at
characters named Squirtle (please feel free to laugh), Butterfree (why
anyone would go Butterfree is anyone’s guess), Jigglypuff and sidekick
Wigglytuff. |
The WorkSafe WA Commissioner Lex McCulloch says “Employers who have control over construction sites are also reminded that they have a duty of care under workplace safety and health laws to ensure that people not involved with the site are not exposed to the hazards there”. This usually means adequate fencing & signage on large construction sites, at least warning signs on smaller sites. However, reports are that these people are ignoring these signs and barriers and entering regardless. Commissioner Lex McCulloch asks that parents talk to their children playing the game to warn them against entering hazardous construction sites. |
