URGENT SAFETY CONCERN - Councils / Schools Goal Post Stimulus Packages
As the Government rolls out the Local Government and School’s Stimulus Funding, councils and schools are being urged to spend this funding money on upgrading their local playing fields and schools’ goal posts to prevent accidents.
PILA group is working with councils and schools Australia wide who are replacing or buying new goal posts for all football codes including AFL, Soccer, Rugby League and Union.
“After a string of preventable injuries and deaths from children using unsafe, old and dangerous goal posts, council Purchasers, School Principal’s and teachers need to use this funding bonus wisely and upgrade their school ground facilities before more children are hurt”, said Goal Post General Manager Reece Wooldridge, a 17 year veteran of the sports equipment industry.
National Sports Division Manager Michael Reid agrees. “It is hard for councils and schools to find funding for goal posts so when an opportunity like this comes along they must use it to the full. As a player myself I know the dangers and how easy injuries from old, dangerous equipment can occur. I work closely with the risk assessment managers of our major football codes and one of my greatest challenges daily is trying to help councils, schools and clubs find the funding so desperately needed to replace and upgrade their goal posts. It is just not worth the risk to leave old goals standing in public playing fields and school grounds anymore.”
PILA group is Australia’s national supplier of safe goal posts for AFL, soccer, rugby league and rugby union and the ONLY manufacturer to achieve compliance to all Australian and European manufacturing safety standards with warranties.
