The Power Of Workplace Safety Training Videos


Sectors like the oil and gas industry, as well as any industry where employees are around potentially dangerous equipment or substances, know that safety is paramount. 

Any accidents involving employees can have wide-reaching effects – not only on any injured staff and their families, but also the company’s assets, legality, and reputation. That’s why safety training for employees is absolutely vital. 

If you’re still considering whether to hire a safety training video production company, and what kind of safety training video might be right for you, let’s take a look at what’s available and why this could be the most effective training tool for your company.

Academics have identified four different ‘learning styles’ which differ from person to person. While everyone can benefit from all of these different styles of learning, some people will lean more towards one style than the rest. 

The first is visual learning. This means learners are better able to understand and remember things they’re taught in visual form. While this can be pictures and diagrams, it also includes moving images (such as video). Safety videos are obviously a win for this group, helping them to take in and retain important information more easily. 

The second learning style is aural learning. This type of learner responds better to audio forms of information than any other. While this can mean a lecture or audio-only piece of instruction can be effective, a safety video with clear and informative audio will also do the trick.

The third group of learners respond best to reading the information available. Of course you should have written material that employees can refer to at all times, but you can also include text within a video as well.

Even the fourth group, kinesthetic learners, can take something valuable from a safety training video. These people learn by ‘doing’ and ‘hands-on’ activity. While there will undoubtedly be much of this as part of general employee safety training, it can also help to show video footage of other people doing tasks to appeal to this kind of learning style.

So as you can see, a safety training video is really the complete package for everyone, no matter which of the four groups your staff fit into.


Different styles of safety training videos

Safety training videos can come in many different styles, and can also switch between styles to keep them interesting. If you have a lot of important information to convey, you can choose from a variety of visual options to make sure each topic is covered in the most effective way possible.

1. Animated safety training videos

2. Dramatized safety training videos

3. Graphics, infographics and diagrams

4. Documentary safety training videos
