INTRODUCING NEW TOOLBOX TALKS RESOURCES: ENHANCING ACCESSIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY

The NASC Health and Safety Committee has updated the suite of Toolbox Talks on its eportal – enhancing functionality and accessibility to its members and helping them work towards net-zero, as per NASC President, David Brown’s objectives.

In order to improve user experience and contribute to reducing our carbon footprint across construction sites, the NASC toolbox talks have now been organized into a comprehensive, searchable catalogue of downloadable PDFs on the eportal.

This reorganization ensures that finding and printing the relevant toolbox talk for your specific needs is easier and more efficient than ever before.

And by embracing this digital approach, the NASC are taking a significant step towards promoting sustainability within the industry.

NASC President David Brown: “Our ePortal is a huge leap forward for our members in terms of usability and sustainability.”

Also as part of the NASC’s ongoing commitment to increasing accessibility and supporting the industry towards net-zero, the NASC has released all its toolbox talks as audio guides.

The audio guides for toolbox talks provide enhanced accessibility, allowing members to conveniently listen to the content, catering to diverse learning preferences.

Additionally, audio guides offer the advantage of on-demand access, enabling members to engage with the material anytime and anywhere, further enhancing their learning experience.

To accomplish this, NASC have harnessed the power of Amazon Polly – a text-to-speech AI software – that utilizes cutting-edge deep learning technologies to generate natural-sounding human speech. This innovation allows for the seamless regeneration of toolbox talks as they are updated – ensuring that members have access to the most relevant and up-to-date information in a format that suits their individual preferences.
