1. How can you develop an effective training module, for
inculcating a safety conscience culture among all workers,
working in a firm of a ‘concrete specialty contractor’
Whether the team is made up of ten or one hundred workers, here are a few easy ways
to induce safety conscience culture among all workers.
Emphasize the Risks
No matter how one decides to teach the employees about concrete safety, it’s important
to stress the risks involved before anything else. This will grab their attention and keep
them watchful whenever they are near to concrete. Emphasize that neglecting certain
safety practices can lead to severe harm to not just themselves, but their co-workers.
Mishandling concrete materials can lead to:



Severe chemical burns
Breathing issues
Trips, slips, and falls
Modes of teaching concrete safety
By emphasizing the severe risks associated with concrete, we’re on the right track.
Next, it’s time to discuss the basics of concrete safety. But let’s say we want to present
this in an easily digestible way that won’t bore our team. Here are a few ways this can
be done.
Videos
A series of videos on the topic can be an easy, quick, and thorough way to present the
information. Screen it for the workers and send it to their WhatsApp. We want it to be
long enough that it covers a wide variety of topics—but not too long that no one has
time out of their day to actually watch it.
In person workshops
In some cases, holding an in-person workshop may be a more engaging way of
teaching so much information at once. Remember, it can be a lot of information to go
over. We must discuss how to protect the eyes, skin, head, and back. There are also
different protocols for handling various situations. For example, how dry concrete can
affect workers versus wet concrete.
PowerPoint Presentation
A PowerPoint is a great way to combine an in-person presentation, with engaging
visuals. We can organize the information, making it a lot easier to remember.
Separate the presentation into categories such as:





The consequences
Protective gear: gloves, masks, goggles, and appropriate clothing
What not to do around concrete: both wet and dry
Handling the machinery
What to do in case of an emergency
Concrete safety is no joke. By being thorough in the teaching process, we are securing
the safety of our workers and the integrity of our company. It doesn’t have to be a dull
process. Teaching safety practices can be informative and light—but remember, it is
always necessary to keep the on field check.
