Working safely is vitally important. That is why Doorzaam is launching a new podcast especially for temporary workers: Safety First. A series of short episodes full of recognizable situations, clear tips, and examples that relate to your daily work. The podcast is easy to listen to during your break, on your way to work, or at home on the couch. You don't need your hands to listen, so it's ideal if you want to learn something new on the go.

About the podcast

As a temporary worker, you often work in different places, with new colleagues and new machines. This makes your work varied, but sometimes also challenging when it comes to safety.

Safety First helps you to:

  • become more aware of situations in the workplace,
  • recognize risks more quickly,
  • knowing what to do if something doesn't feel safe,
  • to do your work with more confidence,
  • and work with colleagues to build a safe workplace.

What can you expect from the episodes?

Safety First is all about real stories from temporary workers. We spoke to people who wanted to share their experiences. These stories were then recorded using AI voices, so that temporary workers could tell their stories anonymously. The practical stories are about what is going well and what could be improved.

In each episode, you will receive:

  • Real-life stories
  • Practical safety tips
  • Recognizable examples that fit your daily work
  • Created for and by temporary workers
  • Episodes lasting approximately 10 minutes

The first four episodes are now live in Dutch. To reach as many temporary workers as possible, we will soon be expanding Safety First with English-language episodes. A Polish version will also follow later.

Listen now

Curious? Listen to the first four episodes now and make sure you get home safely every day.

Start listening to Safety First today.
