This video, although humorous, delivers hard-hitting impact for all employees. The program examines the “million” excuses offered by employees for not following established safety policies and procedures, not wearing Personal Protective Equipment and for not using common sense on the job. When employee’s see the excuses in this program, it may cause them to examine some of their own attitudes which may be unsafe.

Construction Safety...that's a very broad subject. This video covers a variety of topics and is designed as a basic overview of issues and hazards present on most construction sites. It is a great Orientation video for new employees or a refresher for experienced ones.

In this dramatic telling of the popular “I Chose To Look The Other Way,” viewers will witness examples of three common scenarios of workers not speaking up about safety. The storylines feature a failure to follow lockout/tagout, an employee neglecting to wear PPE and a worker choosing not to wear fall protection as the primary causes of incidents that result in fatalities; however, your employees will learn that the root cause of each was a reluctance to speak up. They will be convinced that speaking up about unsafe acts is critical in the prevention of workplace injuries. Some of the other safety concerns addressed in the program include supervisors, rushing, habits, shift work and intimidation.

Construction work is very dangerous, as nearly 1,000 workers are killed and thousands of others are injured on construction jobsites each year. While there have been many safety improvements over the years to control the hazards that contribute to these incidents, new and inexperienced workers still get hurt on the jobsite way too often. This program stresses the point that these workers must be responsible for their own personal safety. Construction Safety Specialist Bob Synnett discusses the hazards of construction work and what actions construction workers can take to avoid mishaps on the job. Topics include PPE, Excavation, Ladder Safety, Scaffolding, Fall Protection and Electrical Safety.

Employees in industrial environments face different hazards than those in office or warehousing environments. For this reason they need training that addresses the hazards they face in the course of their job. This program covers General Safety Rules, Workplace Hazards, PPE, Machine Guarding, Emergency Action Plans, Slips & Falls, Housekeeping, Working at Heights, Hand & Electrical Tools, Hazard Communication, Forklifts, Proper Body Mechanics and other vital information.

In our busy lives, we are often faced with time-management choices. When given the chance, we must always choose safety over time savings, because rushing causes us to lose focus, skip steps, and make bad decisions. In fact, the time we spend staying safe is time well spent. In this program, workers learn the very real hazards associated with rushing and being in a hurry. Through various examples, viewers will learn to recognize the symptoms of becoming rushed, why “hurried working” is so dangerous and what steps they can take to stay safe. The program also makes the point that being in a hurry is not the real cause of incidents and injuries, but rather a symptom of poor planning, poor choices and poor time-management–all of which can be prevented by proper preparation and organization.
