Manufacturing Safety Training Videos Improve Compliance & Worker Safety

The manufacturing industry is known for risks which impact the safety of workers, particularly in manufacturing plants where heavy equipment or large machinery is involved as well as where chemicals and dangerous or hazardous products are used. Safety is a top concern for plant owners, and for OSHA as well as other regulatory agencies. Whether you’re looking to improve your current compliance standing with OSHA or you’re simply concerned about improving the safety of your workers while on the job, manufacturing safety training videos can help!

In fact, manufacturing safety training videos are the best opportunity you have as a plant owner to improve compliance with industry regulations and to improve worker safety. Not only are training videos the industry chosen method for safety training, they’re affordable, cost-effective, and they make it easy for management to monitor accountability standards to ensure that workers are properly engaging in the training that you provide.

Worker Benefits of Manufacturing Safety Training Videos

The use of manufacturing safety training videos to help your workers learn about safe equipment operations, safety gear, and what to do in the event of a safety related emergency such as an injury or accident can have several key benefits for your workers. Not only do most workers prefer to engage in training via video, they learn more from training videos, too.

You can expect the following benefits to impact your workers as a direct result of your decision to provide manufacturing safety training videos for them to learn and grow from:

• Increased learner retention of information.
• Increased ability to understand the information that is taught.
• Stronger recognition of information when similar scenarios in work activities arise.
• Easy interaction that is comfortable for workers.
• Better ability to follow along with information and learn.
• Freedom to learn at a pace that is most comfortable and conducive to understanding the information.
• Flexibility to learn at a pace that is best for the worker and the ability to engage from anywhere, anytime.

Workers appreciate when plants provide safety training because it shows that the plant cares about and values worker health and safety. By providing manufacturing safety training videos, workers are more likely to actually engage fully in training rather than take part in only portions of the training which is more common when a training manual or classroom training is provided. Because workers with various learning styles and even those with disabilities or who cannot read can still engage in training that is provided via video, manufacturing safety training videos are the ideal means of delivering training to your team.

Owner Benefits of Manufacturing Safety Training Videos 

As a plant or business owner that hires workers to operate a manufacturing division, there are several key benefits that you will experience with your decision to provide manufacturing safety training videos to your team. In addition to staying in compliance with OSHA and other regulatory organizations, you will also experience the benefit of knowing that training has been provided for your team and you can prove it. With worker safety training provided by video through an LMS (learning management system) you have the ability to fully track who has watched the training, when they watched, how much they watched, and how they engaged with any interactive elements that were included in the video such as quizzes or other features.

Additional owner benefits that come along with the decision to provide manufacturing safety training videos to your team include:

• Cost effective training that only has a single upfront cost no matter how many times a video is used.
• Affordable training which generally costs significantly less than repeated training sessions.
• Convenient training which doesn’t take away from management time or require time from top tenured employees to train new hires.
• Improved worker safety which means lower insurance premiums, fewer accidents or injuries, and an overall better work environment.
• Greater ability to track training, find gaps in training, and develop additional protocols to ensure workers are receiving all of the information and training they need.
• Increased productivity among workers.
• Lower employee turnover rates because employees feel valued and safe.

Training videos improve your employee’s ability to understand what you teach them and to later put their training to use. Where in classroom training programs can take weeks of scheduling and a lot of time to coordinate and prepare for, video based training programs are quick and easy to deliver once the videos are produced. Management works on producing training videos once time, and once the videos are produced there are no further interruptions for the management.

As you can see, the benefits of providing manufacturing safety training videos include several key values that apply to management as well as to workers. Video training has quickly gained popularity for several reasons, but the amount of money that it saves large and small organizations is certainly one of the most prominent factors that management considers.
