My dad does demolition
8/06/2015
New children’s book highlights the core values and potential hazards of the demolition business.
“My Dad Does Demolition” is the brainchild of former Institute of Demolition Engineers president and industry training leader Mr. John Woodward.
Ideally suited to children from five to eight years old, the book has been developed to encourage children to consider a career in demolition from an early age.
“I wanted a book that showed children what demolition was all about, how safety is vitally important, and how materials could be recycled and re-used. Perhaps the biggest challenge was making demolition sound as interesting as possible without making it sound so intriguing that children viewed demolition sites as potential playgrounds.”, Mr. Woodward said.
The book has also been designed to allow parents, grandparents, carers and teachers to read it with children, to look more deeply at the subjects covered, and to encourage children to ask questions.
