"Implementing doinstruct as our digital learning platform was a milestone in our safety strategy." - Udo Wessel, QHSE Manager

The challenge
High turnover on construction sites and massive manual effort
In the construction industry, training is often a costly, ongoing challenge. High workforce turnover, constantly changing site crews, and international workers create a continuous need for onboarding and safety training, often under difficult conditions: lacking digital infrastructure, facing language barriers, and without centralized documentation.
The result: foremen and site managers are forced to deliver training manually and on site. Proving compliance is just as time-consuming. For Echterhoff, this leads to increased accident risk and a real economic downside: project delays, liability risks, high coordination effort, and reduced employer attractiveness.

The solution
Time and cost savings through customized, digital training
With doinstruct, Echterhoff has digitized all mandatory safety briefings, equipment trainings, and instructional content for skilled workers, supervisors, visitors, and suppliers entering the jobsite. The content is accessible via smartphone in over 25 languages and is used across multiple construction sites.
Instead of spending time on repetitive training sessions, foremen and site managers can now refocus on site leadership, quality assurance, and on-time project delivery. Because everyone learns in their native language, the content is better understood and applied directly on site.

The value
42% fewer accidents and less stress for foremen and site leads
Since introducing doinstruct in 2024, Echterhoff has reduced the number of serious jobsite accidents by 42%, despite consistently high construction activity. Training is now scalable across all jobsites, roles, and equipment, and available in each worker’s native language.
The result: real behavior change on site. When safety rules are understood, they can be followed - reducing accident risks in a lasting way. Fewer incidents mean more available working hours, smoother operations, and on-time project delivery. Site managers and foremen gain time for operational leadership, and clients experience true reliability.
Echterhoff can now run more projects in parallel, secure follow-up contracts, and position itself as a modern, forward-thinking partner. At the same time, the company is fully audit-ready, with less planning effort, but greater safety and transparency.

The competitive advantage
Immediate workforce readiness plus better talent and client retention
While many construction companies struggle with manual safety briefings, constantly shifting crews, and time lost to language barriers, Echterhoff is taking a new approach with doinstruct. Mandatory safety training now happens even before the first day on site, on each worker’s own smartphone, in their preferred language, and tailored to the specific jobsite.
In an industry marked by high turnover and rotating work locations, this means major efficiency gains: new hires arrive prepared, site leadership is relieved of repetitive training tasks, and accident rates are measurably reduced.
The result: smoother operations, greater reliability, and a real competitive edge, helping Echterhoff retain talent, win client trust, and position itself as a modern, future-ready partner.
