WorkSafe Toolkit Launches Pilot in 10 Nigerian Workplaces
Our first cohort of partner workplaces — spanning factories, construction sites, and open-air markets across Lagos, Abuja, and Ibadan — is now live.
A quiet but significant start
This month marks the start of field deployment for the WorkSafe Toolkit. Ten partner workplaces across three Nigerian states are now receiving our first full set of multilingual safety materials — posters, booklets, and short-form video content — alongside on-site training sessions led by our country team.
The pilot spans:
- Three textile and garment factories in Lagos
- Two construction sites under active development in Abuja
- Four market associations in Ibadan, Lagos, and Kano
- One warehousing facility in Port Harcourt
What happens next
Each site receives materials translated into the dominant languages of its workforce — English plus at least one of Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, or Nigerian Pidgin. Over the next six months, we'll measure changes in near-miss reporting, PPE compliance, and — most importantly — worker confidence in raising safety concerns.
Gratitude
This work is made possible by the Korea Safety Health & Environment Foundation, whose funding supports not just the materials themselves but the long, unglamorous work of making sure they actually reach the workers they're built for.
More updates as the data comes in.
