FACTORY FLOOR · Lagos
“For twelve years I worked with machines I couldn't read the warnings on. The first poster I actually understood, I cried.”

What we do
Four moves, one outcome: workers who go home.
We print, post, film, broadcast, and show up, in the languages people speak, at the literacy level they read, on the channels they already use.
Materials that actually get read
Multilingual posters, infographics, videos, and booklets, engineered so a worker with limited literacy still gets the message that keeps them alive. No jargon. No acronyms. No slide decks.
A platform, not a PDF graveyard
An online home where safety resources are free, findable, and formatted for humans. No paywalls. No sign-ups. No bureaucratic detours between a worker and the thing that saves them.
Showing up, in person
Physical awareness campaigns across at least 10 workplaces, because a poster on a wall is one thing, and a conversation on the factory floor is another. Presence is the lesson.
The message, everywhere the phone is
Digital outreach that keeps safety in the feed. Short-form, shareable, unignorable, safety messaging that travels the same channels gossip, politics, and football do.
About us
The knowledge that keeps you safe shouldn't be locked behind a language you don't read.

2022
On the ground since
Started in a Bodija abattoir, now nationwide.
The beginning
We started in an abattoir. The floor kept teaching us.
How it began
A team came together in Bodija, Ibadan: occupational health specialists, public health researchers, workplace safety professionals. Three of us had supervised abattoirs directly. One shared goal held the group: fewer preventable injuries in the sectors most people would rather not look at.
How it grew
Then we kept looking. Informal markets. Construction sites. Manufacturing floors. Warehouses. The same hazards, the same absence of structured training, the same workers paying the price. The Toolkit was born from that widening lens: a set of materials built for every worker the old frameworks forgot.

Approaches
Community EngagementMedia Campaign
We work where the workers are, and we speak their language, literally and otherwise.
The ground
We start where the need is urgent and the materials are missing.
Nigeria's industrial and informal workforce is vast, vital, and chronically under-served by existing safety infrastructure. That's where the toolkit begins, and that's where the lessons that scale everywhere else are learned first.

“The safety briefing used to be a paper nobody signed. Now the team runs the briefing themselves. That shift — that's the toolkit.”

“We told them traders don't do training. They came anyway. They spoke Yoruba. They stayed. Now every stall has the chart on the wall.”
