How a French Factory Used Lego to Fix Its Safety Culture

Episode 24 of The Manufacturing Podcast digs into an unusual factory turnaround: how French automotive parts supplier Novares used Lego Serious Play workshops to overhaul its safety culture at a plant near Lyon. Lucas and Luna walk through the numbers — a 70 percent drop in lost-time incidents over 18 months — and the psychology behind why grown adults building with plastic bricks changed behaviour where traditional posters and fines failed. The episode explores the specific protocol Novares followed, the role of middle managers in the pilot, and the cost of the program versus the savings from reduced downtime. A concrete look at one factory's bet that play, not punishment, makes safer workers. #Novares #LegoSeriousPlay #SafetyCulture #FactorySafety #Manufacturing #France #Lyon #LostTimeIncidents #BehavioralSafety #LeanManufacturing #ContinuousImprovement #HRO #IndustrialPsychology #WorkerEngagement #Business #ManufacturingPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
