Why don't traditional occupational health and safety trainings work?
Every employee knows that health and safety training is mandatory – but few see it as inspiring. Most often, it takes the form of lectures, presentations, or a short online course. The result? Low attention, quickly forgetting the rules, and treating the entire training as an unpleasant obligation.
Meanwhile, workplace safety is not just regulations – it’s real skills that can save health and even life. That’s why more and more companies are looking for new, engaging ways to convey knowledge. One of the most effective solutions is outdoor health and safety events – modern picnics and practical trainings that combine education with team integration.
Outdoor occupational health and safety event – what does it look like?
BHP Picnic is not a lecture at a desk, but a day full of activities and simulations in which employees participate personally. Instead of passive listening – practice and experience.
On the grounds of the Zbiroża Estate, in the green surroundings of Mazovia, we create special educational and entertaining zones where participants can:
-
extinguish a controlled fire using fire extinguishers and hydrants,
-
go through a smoke chamber to test their reactions in a threat situation,
-
provide first aid under the supervision of rescuers,
-
learn the rules of evacuation and procedures in case of an accident,
-
participate in simulations of hazards typical for the given industry (e.g. working at heights, contact with machinery, office work).
The whole is complemented by integration elements – team competitions, physical games, and space for relaxation with families. Thanks to this, BHP training becomes an event that truly engages and stays in memory for years.
Why choose occupational health and safety training in the form of an event?
-
Better knowledge retention – participants not only hear but also practice specific actions themselves.
-
Building safety awareness – employees see real consequences of mistakes and learn appropriate reactions.
-
Team integration – shared challenges and tasks build bonds and cooperation.
-
Modern company image – by organizing training in the form of a picnic, you show that safety is a priority and that you care about your employees' comfort.
-
Combining education with recreation – employees learn but also have fun, which makes the entire event perceived very positively.

Occupational health and safety picnic – example scenario
Imagine: Saturday, sunny weather, a green area filled with thematic stations. Groups of employees rotate visiting consecutive zones: first aid, fire extinguishing, evacuation. Meanwhile, the rest of the team integrates through outdoor games, grilled food, or children's activities.
On stage, there is a short medical rescue demonstration, and at the end, everyone gathers for a communal refreshment. The result? Knowledge reinforced, team bonds strengthened, and employees leave with the feeling that safety truly matters.
Summary
Outdoor health and safety events are the future of training – practical, engaging, and memorable. Instead of another boring lecture, employees gain real skills they can use in work and everyday life.
