Ronald eventually learns the hard way that he did not know as much about building sites as he thought.

Wiki.
Building Sites Bite is a 1978 British short public information film produced by the Central Office of Information for the Health and Safety Executive and the Mighty Movie Company for British schools to warn children about the dangers of playing on building sites. It was written and directed by David Hughes and produced by Maggie Evans. The film is 28 minutes in duration.
Building Sites Bite was filmed as party of a national campaign responding to the deaths of more than 20 children in 1977 in building-site accidents. Most of the actors are children. Because of the style of filming and grim subject matter, Building Sites Bite is often compared to the earlier films Apaches (1975) and The Finishing Line (1975).
