Managing safety on busy construction sites is a monumental task, especially for site managers and those responsible for contractor oversight. Ensuring that every worker, whether an employee or contractor, has received sufficient work instruction on site safety is challenging. Traditionally, this has been achieved through toolbox talks or distributing paper sheets for workers to sign, confirming they have read and understood the site rules.

However, these methods have significant drawbacks. Paper-based records can easily get lost in the hustle and bustle of a busy construction site. Additionally, with a diverse workforce where English may not be the first language, crucial safety information can get lost in translation.

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 mandates employers to provide adequate training and instruction to all employees, contractors, and self-employed individuals. AI-generated toolbox talks are revolutionising how we communicate with contractors and operators, addressing the limitations of traditional methods.

Challenges of Traditional Safety Training

• Paper-based Records: Easily lost or damaged, leading to potential compliance issues.

• Language Barriers: Diverse workforces can struggle with understanding instructions not in their native language.

• Time-Consuming Processes: Delivering and documenting training can be labour-intensive, tying up valuable time and resources.

Benefits of AI-Generated Toolbox Talks

• Rapid Creation: AI can quickly convert your existing safety instructions into engaging videos.

• Multilingual Access: Videos can be produced in over 150 languages, ensuring clear communication across your workforce.

• QR Code Accessibility: Workers can scan QR codes on equipment to instantly access relevant safety videos.

• Effective Documentation: Digital records ensure that training documentation is easily accessible and less likely to be lost.

• Cost-Efficient: No need for expensive video production; simply update the text, and the AI generates the video.

Case Study: Balfour Beatty at Hinkley Point C

Balfour Beatty is leveraging AI-generated safety tools to manage the Hinkley Point C nuclear reactor construction project. By embedding safety instructions into mobile apps, operators can scan a QR code and access safety instructions in over 150 languages instantly. This method simplifies safety audits, providing clear evidence that each piece of equipment has a dedicated safety video.

Transitioning from Paper to Digital

AI is transforming how we manage risk and safety. Transitioning from paper-based records to digital formats not only enhances compliance but also streamlines the training process. With AI-generated videos, updating safety content is straightforward and cost-effective. No more expensive editing or production—just update the text, and your video is ready.

Supporting Instructional Training

AI-generated videos support instructional training by allowing users to access critical safety information at their convenience. Share your site safety induction in advance with critical contractors, ensuring they are prepared before arriving on-site. This approach frees up site managers’ time, avoiding the need for repetitive PowerPoint presentations.
