Health and Safety Video Production

Reel Film is an award-winning video production company based in Yorkshire, boasting a solid track record of producing engaging and informative healthy and safety videos for clients across a variety of sectors. Whether you need an induction video for new starters, demo videos for safely operating pieces of machinery, or a short film to highlight an ongoing concern, our team will lend their extensive skills to your health and safety video production to ensure its effectiveness within your workplace.

With over 50 years of combined experience and over 500 projects to our name, our expertise covers every aspect of the video production pipeline, from storyboarding and scripting, lighting and videography to working our magic in the editing room. Whatever your industry or the safety concerns you are trying to address, Reel Film are eager to immerse ourselves in your business to ensure your health and safety video production reflects your company's attitude while outlining your protocols in an accessible way.

Health and safety videos are instructional videos that inform new and existing employees, visitors or contractors in your workplace about how to conduct themselves in potentially hazardous situations to avoid endangering themselves or others. From outlining the best body posture to prevent strain or injury and the correct protective clothing to wear around your site to outlining the risks your workers should be aware of when carrying out their daily tasks, your health and safety video production can be tailored to accommodate the information your employees need to know.

While getting employees up to speed with safe working practices should be your main priority, health and safety video production also gives you the opportunity to reflect your company culture to new employees and establish a favourable depiction of your brand. 

Benefits of Health and Safety Video Production

There are multiple modern approaches to delivering health and safety training, from digital resources to live presentations. While the necessary information can be adequately relayed in either of these methods, it can be difficult to guarantee that your employees will retain several pages worth of documentation or that identical guidance is given from one live presentation to the next.

Developing your own health and safety video production allows you to frame any essential information as accessibly and engagingly as possible, while ensuring that information remains consistent with every viewing. While you can’t put a price on safety, having an effective health and safety video that you can reuse time and again will not only save time allocated to training, but also the cost of covering members of your workforce who have incurred avoidable injuries. 

Sharing the video electronically allows your employees to digest the information in their own time, rewinding sections until they properly understand your safety protocols or even revisiting the video later to keep it fresh in their minds. Furthermore, distributing your health and safety video via an e-learning platform enables you to track its engagement, providing you with the assurance that your employees, contractors and visitors are all adequately informed.

By incorporating different filmmaking techniques into your health and safety video production, you can frame your training in dynamic ways that increase engagement while clarifying more complicated procedures. Animated videos, for instance, give you the opportunity to demonstrate hazardous scenarios without the risk or expense of a live-action recreation.

Reel Film has provided its filmmaking services to over a hundred companies, producing health and safety videos across an array of industries. From outlining critical protocols for healthcare providers to providing site safety to workers along every step of the manufacturing production line, our team have harnessed their creative skills to bring countless clients’ visions into reality. Here are some of the services we have provided on our previous projects.

Explainer Videos

No one understands your protocols as well as you do, so sometimes, the most effective approach to your health and safety video production is an explainer video with you at the helm. By recording a series of interview segments with you or a knowledgeable team member, we can extract narration to go over appropriate footage or graphics that consolidate the information provided. We could also combine talking head segments with montages of workers practising safe procedures in and around your site.

Animated Videos

When certain procedures are too complicated for words, or some environments are simply too hazardous to film in, animated video can prove invaluable to your health and safety video production. Classic 2D animation is great for rendering processes in a straightforward manner or recreating workplace incidents in a less grisly fashion, while computer-generated 3D animation allows you to reproduce machinery or areas of your worksite with detail and precision.

Pre-production: Whenever we start a new project, we get stuck into the industry and inner workings of our clients. This means we can accurately reflect their company culture and values, as well as those all-important safety protocols. Once we get to know each other, we can begin to bounce ideas around for your health and safety video production, creating initial storyboards and scripts, as well as making arrangements for any actors or filming locations necessary to the project.

Production: Once production has started, our team will arrive at a time convenient to you and get to work on your health and safety video production without causing disruption to your business. During this stage, we will provide regular progress updates in the form of raw footage so that you can start to see those early storyboards coming to life. 

Post-Production: When we have all the footage we need, it gets sent over to our talented editors so they can work their magic on the final product. In addition to colour correction and syncing any audio we might have recorded, they add sound effects and music from our extensive library, as well as helpful graphics and animations to ensure your health and safety video is as you imagined.
