Intervention (Public) For this pilot study, we will work directly with Eiffage, the main company responsible for constructing the TER. The intervention will be the provision of training in non-cognitive skills that have been identified as important by Eiffage for low-skilled construction jobs. We will focus on one particular unskilled task, namely the operation of the barriers that allow traffic in and out of the construction sites. The task requires no technical skills but it does require that workers are conscientious, attentive, good communicators, strictly adhere to rules irrespective of who approaches a barrier, making no exceptions. The intervention will involve one group session with the workers allocated to the treatment group where issues around safety and conscientiousness will be discussed. Each worker will be called once per week for the following eight weeks with reminders in to be conscientious in the work place.

Experimental Design (Public) There are approximately 400 workers employed as barrier workers by Eiffage in the construction of the TER. 200 individuals will be randomly assigned to the treatment group and 200 to the control group. All workers will be surveyed at baseline, midline and endline.

Randomization Method The population of barrier workers are randomly assigned to either the treatment or the control group with approximately 200 workers in each group. The workers are randomly assigned to either the treatment or the control group with approximately 200 workers in each group.
Randomization Unit The unit of randomization is the barrier worker (individual). The unit of randomization is the worker (individual).
