5 Reasons that Make Health and Safety Videos Important in the Oil and Gas Industry

Did you know every day, oil and gas workers battle different safety and health hazards? Yes, that’s true and some of these include:

  • Vehicle accidents
  • Fires and Explosions
  • Caught-between/caught-in/struck-by moving equipment or vehicles, high-pressure lines, and falling equipment
  • Chemical exposures
  • Falls
  • Confined spaces where flammable vapors or gases may get ignited, or they suffer asphyxiation or get exposed to hazardous chemicals

Apart from putting human health and safety at great risk, these situations pose an equal threat to the environment as well. And that’s what makes health and safety video so crucial in the oil and gas industry.

Using safety training videos you can train your employees in identifying hazards, controlling them, and following safety protocols when there’s a mishap.

Why videos?

The audio-visual medium always creates a better impact on the learners by keeping them engaged. Lessons taught through this medium also stay in the minds of trainees for a long time.

We bring you 5 reasons why safety videos are so important in the oil and gas industry. Read on to find out more.

 

  • Prevention is better than cure

Nowhere is this more apt than in the oil and gas industry. Safety training videos can help teach a lot of things. This includes how and when to use personal protective equipment (PPE) correctly, common protective steps, and more.

 

 

  • Identifying work-related hazards

Accidents and other health and safety hazards can be caused by various factors. Using the wrong PPE/chemical/machine, or working in long shifts with fewer breaks are just some common ones. 

By hiring a health & safety video production company, you can emphasize these common hazards and ways to control them. Wondering how you can do this? Simple steps like putting a barrier between the employee and hazard (guarding/ventilation), or redesigning work methods can help. You just need planned modules in your safety training videos to focus on these aspects.

 

 

  • Adhering to safety protocols 

Learning safety procedures before starting work, or how to report workplace accidents and potential hazards is crucial. All these and more can be taught using safety video production services.

 

 

  • Making employees familiar with new processes

When new work and safety processes/procedures are implemented, employees need to be trained to become aware of them. Training should also focus on making them understand what they need to adhere to these procedures and processes. These can be easily done through health & safety video production services.

 

 

  • Encouraging self-paced learning

You can upload safety training videos to a central system from where your employees can easily access them. This way, you can ensure a continuous learning process. Even idle hands or employees on a lunch break can study these to learn, and refresh their earlier training. And the best part? You won’t need instructors to be physically present during training since you can record their lectures and upload them. Even employees won’t need to be in classrooms and thus miss their productive hours. After all, they can use these training videos as and when they want to.

Hope we have been able to convince you of the importance of health and safety videos in the highly volatile oil and gas industry.
