A Safety Training Video You Can Actually Enjoy Watching

There are safety videos that will put you to sleep in minutes, others that turn your stomach with gory images, others that have you think that if you don’t die by the end of your first shift you will probably be sacked anyway by breaching just one of a thousand rules!. However, this one is a little refreshing. Sure there are plenty of other safety rap videos out there but this one is a cut above the rest and the blokes from Rig 9 in Outback Australia actual look committed to it!

I have to admit being surprised that an oil company would allow this video to be made on site – imagine the paperwork! Well done to you but for allowing safety initiatives to get creative and light hearted!

Thanks to Shawn Galloway from “Safety Culture Excellence” for bringing this to our attention in his blog post Is Your Safety Program Viral or Vile?. Shawn writes:

Do your safety programs, videos and information make people smile, create interest and facilitate engagement? Or, do they prompt cringing, create disengagement and turn people off to the message? Safety should be viewed as more than a condition of employment. Safety adds value to the job site, personnel involved, and the families they are working to support. When people enjoy the content, they might (but rarely) share if they have the extra time. When they are a part of the content and it is entertaining and adds value, they make time to share.
