Gamma for HSE: a simple tool worth trying https://gamma.app/
This week, let’s look at Gamma – an AI tool that helps us create presentations, documents, simple web pages, and visual content much faster than starting from a blank screen. It is especially useful when we need to convert HSE knowledge into something clean, structured, and easy to present. Gamma offers a free plan, and on that plan users get 400 starter AI credits, plus access to templates and basic creation features.
For HSE work, Gamma can help us prepare:
– Safety training decks
– Toolbox talk presentations
– Accident investigation summaries
– Permit-to-work awareness material
– HAZOP overview slides
– Campaign pages for internal safety communication.
What makes it practical is that we do not need to be designers. We can give Gamma a clear topic and structure, and it can turn that into a polished draft (Few prompts are given below). It also supports importing PDF and PPTX files and exporting to PDF, PPTX, PNG, and Google Slides, which means we can refresh old training material instead of creating everything again from zero.
A few practical ways to use it smartly on the free plan:
1. Write the content first outside Gamma
Draft the outline in Word, Notes, or ChatGPT first. Then use Gamma mainly for layout and presentation. This helps save AI credits because on the free plan, AI actions use credits.
2. Use templates instead of starting from scratch
Gamma provides 100+ free templates. For HSE, this is useful for lecture-style training decks, report summaries, and awareness material.
3. Keep the first draft focused
The free plan allows up to 10 cards per prompt, so it is better to keep one deck short and focused rather than trying to generate a very large presentation in one go.
4. Export and finish elsewhere if needed
Once the structure looks good, export it to PowerPoint or Google Slides and do the final polishing there.
5. Use referrals only if you need extra free credits
Gamma’s help center says free users can earn 200 credits per referral, and free accounts can hold up to 2,000 credits at once.
For us in HSE, Gamma is not a replacement for technical knowledge. But it is a very useful tool to package our knowledge better. Especially when we want to train teams, brief management, explain procedures, or make safety communication more engaging.
If anyone here has already used Gamma for training or internal communication, let’s share how it worked in practice.
