Short Safety Videos Are a Great Human Resource Tool

If you are a human resource manager in charge of your company's safety programs, you know that it can be a real challenge to come up with new and inventive ways to get the information across to employees effectively, do it in a timely manner, and make it comprehensive enough to remain in compliance with state and federal regulations. Short safety videos, downloaded to a computer from an online safety library, are a great human resource tool: here's more about them.

What Are They?

Safety videos downloaded from an online safety library are professionally-produced, "safety-in-a-nutshell" films that get right to the point without wasting time or boring employees into not watching. Most videos are under 10 minutes long and cover topics such as:

-- Ladder safety
-- Forklift tip over accidents
-- Safety eyewear
-- Fall prevention
-- Hearing conservation
-- Even small business safety, workplace stress management, and more.

How Are They Used?

Because these safety videos are downloaded right to an individual computer or even a network, they can be viewed anytime either by an individual or by a group. They can be used for new employee training or as refreshers for veteran workers. They cover all OSHA, EPA, and DOT regulatory topics, so there is one that is just right for your employees' specific training needs.

The videos are short and sweet, comprehensive, and to the point, so employees' interest will not wane as it would during a long presentation.

Adding safety videos to your ongoing training and education program is a great, cost-effective idea that really works.
