Why you need a health & safety video in the workplace
There is no disputing the fact that a safe work environment is often the happiest and most productive as well. This simple rule of thumb applies to all industries, including hospitals, mining, gas & oil, factories, and the retail industry. When your employees have the peace of mind that they are being looked after and safe from any workplace health hazards, they are naturally going to feel more comfortable and be more focused on their work.
No one wants an injury in the workplace, especially upper management. In South Africa, there were nearly 310 million workplace injuries last year. It is important to educate your employees on the health and safety protocols of your company. They should know how to stay safe and how to deal with any sort of accident.
Providing your employees with high-quality, comprehensive safety training using video is an excellent way of achieving this goal. Let’s explore how health and safety videos can have a positive impact and help your employees perform better in the work environment.
Engagement
Let’s be honest here. For most employees, safety training is nothing more than a basic compulsory requirement. These videos are often ‘boring’, leaving no impact on your employees, and not realizing the importance of health and safety in the workplace. For your staff to take safety training seriously, you need to make sure that they can relate to the content of the training. It has to demonstrate potential real-life scenarios. The number one medium to do this is through video.
Remote Training
The benefit of having a well-put-together, visually stimulating safety video is that it can be accessed by relevant parties from anywhere. With the digital age that we live in, a video would be the best medium for safety training, provided it is high quality and engages with its target audience.
The recently implemented regulations for the pandemic are perfect examples. The pandemic has forced many companies to ask their employees to work from home. A safety video would be the ideal way to conduct training in these circumstances, since you can’t physically go to every employee and talk to them in person.
Also, very important during the COVID pandemic, those staff going back to the workplace would benefit greatly from a video explaining all precautions such as sanitizing, social distancing, and mask-wearing.
Cost-effective
A safety video is a more cost-effective way of presenting health and safety training, as opposed to the costs associated with hiring a team to do training in person. You can have a series of videos recorded and then send them to all your employees at once, without having to worry about incurring any additional expense.
If you want a risk-free workplace where your employees can work to their full potential without having to worry about health and safety concerns, then you should consider a health and safety video. Pyro Media can make this happen for your company, ensuring the safety of your employees, especially during these uncertain times.
