Your aging and experienced workforce is retiring – how will you cascade their knowledge to new recruits?

While the Oil and Gas industry continues to grow in the Middle East, there has been a dynamic change in the workforce. The oil and gas industry, alongside plants and refineries, is gradually losing or on the verge of losing their experienced workforce. As we make way for new employees, it’s important that we preserve their experiences and share them with future recruits.

 

We do have the knowledge but how do we impart them to the new employees. As the new workforce relies heavily on technology, old training videos, in-person demos, and text-heavy presentations don’t help that much. 

 

So how do we cascade the health and safety knowledge of those employees before us to new recruits in a far more modern way? How do we capture the essence of what was learnt from a handbook and practical experience, into an easy-to-learn module that new workers will understand?

 

We use safety training videos, Equipment Handling Videos, Lessons Learnt Videos, Testimonial Videos, and plenty of them.

Safety Induction Videos

The best safety induction video is the one that clearly communicates safety requirements and expectations to the visitors and employees of the company in the most effective way in the shortest duration. Companies such as Studio 52 here in Dubai and the wider Middle East can help. The goal is to let the existing, experienced workforce translate their experience, knowledge and history into video which is easy to learn from.

As a developer of Employee Training Videos, our job at Studio 52 is to paint a picture of your workplace and its health and safety procedures. Such training videos would benefit several generations of workers to come.

Don’t confuse a safety induction video with an official health and safety video, however. This is only the beginning of several safety and training videos your workplace within the oil and gas industry needs.

Workplace safety videos

It can be easy to get complacent and rely heavily on your senior staff members to know what they are doing, and to keep doing it. But what happens when those staff members, the only ones who know their department well, are set to retire?

How are you supposed to effectively train new staff members in the years to come, if that one person was the only staff member who knew everything there was to know about a particular area or machine?

Don’t let the experience and knowledge leave your workplace with a retiring staff member. Spend time with them to find out all they know, and turn that knowledge into a comprehensive video, or series of videos, that make sense to a wide variety of employees.

Oil and gas training in Dubai and surrounding areas is generally completed with several handbooks, hands-on experience and qualifications. Training is a huge part of the industry. But with technological advances, it’s time to add a new element – workplace safety videos.

Of course, this is not easily achievable by yourself. That is why it’s important to utilize the services of health and safety video production companies like Studio 52 who can do it for you. Call in the experts and make the health and safety of your employees top priority.
