The client’s request

Wienerberger wanted to embed safety more strongly on the shop floor across multiple sites. Not through isolated initiatives, but through an approach that actively involves employees, uses recognizable situations, and focuses on behaviour and collaboration.

The challenge? Different sites, each with its own context, but with one clear ambition: to make safety tangible and ensure it continues to live on, both during the Safety Days and afterwards in daily operations.

Our solution

We developed and facilitated a series of Safety Games across three sites (Kortemark, Zonnebeke and Rumst) each tailored to the specific context and risks of the site. The approach combined interactive sessions with DENKie trainers and a train-the-trainer programme, enabling Wienerberger to continue using the methodology themselves.

Each session started from recognizable workplace situations and translated safety into concrete choices, behaviour and collaboration on the shop floor.

Kortemark site - Hand Safety Experience

At the Kortemark site, hand safety took centre stage in a highly experience-based session. Participants worked with physical limitations and experienced first-hand the impact of a hand injury on their daily tasks. What normally seems self-evident suddenly became difficult, making the risks tangible.

Through interactive assignments and a final challenge around safe choices, it became clear how quickly routine and time pressure can lead to mistakes and how these can be prevented.

Zonnebeke site - Safe behaviour from different perspectives

At the Zonnebeke site, we worked with three interactive sessions on PPE, LMRA and ergonomics. Through statements, games and practical exercises, employees entered into dialogue about their daily choices: when do you wear PPE, how do you deal with time pressure, and how do you protect your body in the long term?
The combination of themes ensured a broad approach, translating safety into concrete behaviour on the shop floor.

Rumst site - Recognising risks and making them open for discussion

At the Rumst site, the focus was on risk perception and making conscious choices. Using statements and dilemma cards, teams analysed recognizable work situations and discussed risks, consequences and possible actions.
This way, safety was not only addressed, but also actively discussed and translated into concrete improvements and agreements within the team.

From a one-day initiative to a lasting safety culture

By working with interactive games, recognizable situations and strong visual tools, safety was translated into something employees could experience and discuss themselves.

Not as rules imposed from above, but as conscious choices on the shop floor. This helped safety at Wienerberger grow into a shared responsibility, visible in behaviour, collaboration and everyday decisions.
