Benefits of Producing a Medical Workplace Fire Safety Training Video 

Providing fire safety training is essential for healthcare practices, and it’s an OSHA requirement for compliance. Employers must provide knowledge for workers to assist them in understanding what to do during a fire, what they should do for or with patients, and how they can clear a building that they’re working in before exiting safely. Producing a medical workplace fire safety training video can deliver all of the essential training and skills that OSHA requires your employees to have without requiring tenured staff or employees to provide training each time a new employee is brought into the practice.

In fact, there are several key benefits to producing a medical workplace fire safety training video that can be experienced by the healthcare practice as well as by the employees that are provided the video training. At Beverly Boy Productions, we specialize in creating professional training videos that can minimize training error, improve training outcomes, and generate happier employees.

What is a Medical Workplace Fire Safety Training Video?

A medical workplace fire safety training video provides essential training for your new and tenured employees on the importance of fire safety. This training may include things like:

• What to do in the event of a fire.
• Where to go if there is a fire.
• What medical equipment can cause a fire.
• What to do with patients if there is a fire.
• How to clear the building, and what each employee’s role is during a fire or fire drill.

Each healthcare practice will typically have their own requirements and procedures that are to be followed in the event of a fire. They also have a unique evacuation route that applies to each office or location within the facility. Providing employees with proper training on these details is an OSHA requirement for compliance but it’s also important to cover because in the event of an emergency you need to know that all of your employees and patients will be kept safe.

Benefits of Producing a Medical Workplace Fire Safety Training Video

The use of video to provide essential training has several key benefits. Not only is video less overwhelming than other formats of training, but with video you can provide training anytime, anywhere. This means each time you hire a new employee, you can provide the medical workplace fire safety training video for them to watch without having to hold separate training sessions for new employees as they come on board.

In addition to the obvious time saving and safety benefits that come along with providing your employees with a medical workplace fire safety training video, there are also key benefits to using video over written training manuals as follows:

• Video is easier to digest and understand. 19% of the U.S. adult population cannot read above a “below average” level.
• Video is retained longer. Most people only retain about 20% of what they read compared to about 90% of what they see in video.
• Video is flexible and convenient. Employees can watch anytime, anywhere, and when retraining is necessary, video is available.
• Video appeals to a wide variety of learning styles.
• Video uses scenarios, characters, and situations that are memorable.

It’s been proven, that when video training is provided, teams are more likely to recall what they learn and to utilize the knowledge more so than they would if training is provided via written manual.

By using video to train your workers on fire safety, you do not have to place them at risk. You can provide visual representation of the scenarios and potential situations that they need to look out for and understand.

Additional Benefits of Interactive Video Training

In addition to the above benefits, producing an interactive medical workplace fire safety training video has several added benefits. With interactive training videos, your employees can engage in scenarios, path-based learning, and branching that allows them to operate under some pressure and to make key decisions about how to react. They can then immediately see the repercussions of their decisions and learn how important safety training is in the event of a fire.

Other forms of interactive video training that can be incorporated into your medical workplace fire safety training video include:

• Quizzes
• Question and answer sessions
• Polls
• 360° video views for an immersive experience
• Hotspots
• Links

With all of these options, and the advantages that come along with providing a medical workplace fire safety training video, you can bet that this is the best way to train your team on essential skills that will keep them safe during the event of an emergency fire.
