Notes and warnings
Warning. The Hub's note on this option: "To visit a construction site will require advance planning. You will need permission from a parent or guardian, counselor, the architect, and the construction site manager. A construction site is a very dangerous place. While there, you will need to closely follow the site manager's directions and comply with all the safety procedures, including wearing a hard hat, protective eyewear, and proper footwear. Be aware of the changing conditions at the site, and stay with the architect or site manager."
