Don Bosco Migrant Services (DBMS) conducted an awareness program at the L&T Consultants construction site with the objective of promoting workers’ well-being, mental health, and safety awareness among construction labourers. The program witnessed the active participation of 280 construction workers, reflecting strong engagement and interest from the workforce.
The program was honoured by the presence of Mr. Kalairajan, Chief Safety Manager, L&T Construction Private Limited, who served as the Chief Guest for the event. His presence highlighted the importance of workplace safety and the shared responsibility of organisations in ensuring the welfare of construction labourers.
As part of the program, DBMS staff members performed a mime focusing on the importance of good sleep habits, mental health awareness, and the harmful effects of drug consumption. The mime performance effectively conveyed powerful messages in a simple and engaging manner, enabling workers from diverse linguistic backgrounds to easily understand the issues being addressed.
Following the performance, the DBMS team interacted with the workers and explained the services provided by Don Bosco Migrant Services, including support for health, welfare schemes, counselling, and rights awareness. In addition, a small interactive activity was conducted to raise awareness on workplace safety and digital safety, emphasizing safe work practices and responsible use of digital platforms.
To encourage participation and reinforce learning, the team asked a few questions related to the session topics, and the workers responded with great enthusiasm and confidence. Their active involvement reflected the effectiveness of the program and the relevance of the topics discussed.
At the conclusion of the program, the entire DBMS team received mementos from L&T Consultants as a token of appreciation. The L&T staff expressed their admiration for the initiative and particularly appreciated the strong messages conveyed through the mime performance. Overall, the awareness program was successfully conducted and contributed meaningfully to promoting health, safety, and responsible behaviour among construction labourers.
