How Calduran, Dycore & Heembeton Use LesLinq to Create Innovative Gate and Safety Instructions
CRH is a global leader in building materials and construction solutions, with thousands of employees across 28 countries. In the Netherlands, CRH includes companies like Calduran, Dycore and Heembeton – key suppliers of building components such as sand-lime bricks, wall, and floor systems. Safety is a top priority for these companies.
Dirjohn Vos, HSE Manager at Calduran, Dycore, and Heembeton, was looking for an innovative way to make gate instructions, toolbox talks, and safety instructions more efficient and effective. He found that solution in LesLinq.
From a 15-Minute Video to a Smart QR Code
Previously, a truck driver would report at the gate and watch an introductory video in a small room. Did they actually absorb the information? Hopefully…
With LesLinq, the process has changed:
- Drivers scan a QR code at the gate
- They go through the instruction on their own phone, in their own language
- They answer questions to stay engaged and ensure understanding
- Upon completion, they receive a digital certificate to present at the gate
This new method not only saves time but also makes the process more effective and measurable.
“LesLinq doesn’t just save time – it actually works. People enjoy it, actively participate, and follow the instructions properly. They even proudly show up with their certificate! And we always have a clear overview of who completed what.” – Dirjohn Vos, HSE Manager at Calduran, Dycore & Heembeton
Reaching Everyone, in Every Language
Calduran, Dycore & Heembeton work with many non-native speakers, which can easily lead to miscommunication – especially with safety instructions. LesLinq solves this with automatic translation and text-to-speech.
“Voor veel medewerkers is Engels een tweede of derde taal, waardoor veiligheidsinstructies niet altijd goed overkomen. LesLinq vertaalt automatisch en maakt instructies toegankelijker dan ooit. De kans dat de instructie wordt begrepen is veel groter.”
No More Classroom Toolbox Talks – Now Digital Microlearning
LesLinq also offers great potential for Toolbox meetings. Previously, these were delivered in person – often accompanied by piles of paperwork and inconsistent quality in delivery. With LesLinq, that has changed:
- Registration is automated through digital delivery
- Everyone receives the same instruction at the same high quality
- Knowledge retention is improved with interim quiz questions
“I’d say we save at least 50% of the time we used to spend on admin. Plus, we can now offer small updates throughout the year instead of just one big training. Best of all? People actually like learning this way.”
Beyond Gate Instructions and Toolbox Talks
Calduran, Dycore, and Heembeton are seeing more ways to use LesLinq. In addition to gate and toolbox instructions, the platform is now also used for a safety campaign for transporters about mobile phone use in traffic.
“Instead of handing out leaflets, we now do it digitally. It’s far more effective and saves costs.”
More Impact, Less Effort
The benefits of working with LesLinq?
“LesLinq is truly innovative. It’s accessible, the instructions are easy to follow, and the content is nicely varied with videos. Nobody minds doing it – everyone’s enthusiastic. One of the best things about LesLinq is its flexibility. It’s an open canvas – anything is possible. With most software, you hear that everything is possible during the sales pitch, but once you start using it, you run into limitations and any changes come at a cost. With LesLinq, there are no surprises. It offers a wide range of features and flexibility. The collaboration with the LesLinq team is also excellent – everyone is committed to making it a success.”
