Stay Safe Competition

Smart Compliance – Lanarkshire’s “most innovative business”, announced at the Lanarkshire Business Excellence Awards 2012, are launching a competition for all pupils in both primary and secondary schools throughout North Lanarkshire.

They are looking for a pupil to create a name for their latest life saving invention – a new generation carbon monoxide/smoke detector that saves lives, time and money. The pupil with the winning idea will win £300 for their school and a £50 gift voucher for themselves.

One person per week in the UK dies from carbon monoxide poisoning and every year there are 55,000 house fires in the UK that kill 700 people.

The device self checks batteries, circuit and sensors and transmits updates weekly via SMS/GPRS to landlords or homeowners.

Pupils can enter the competition at www.smart-compliance.co.uk The closing date for the competition is 12th June 2012.

See the documents attached for further information.

This competition has been sponsored by Smart Compliance in conjunction with NLC Regeneration and Infrastructure and NLC Learning and Leisure working in partnership with Business Gateway.
