#1 Aviassist – Drone Training – Industrial Safety Animation Videos
With too much content to cover, it’s easy for Digital Learning Managers to overload the information. When you stuff pages upon pages of content into health and safety animation, the result is often counter-productive. You may confuse your employees, leaving them unable to digest the knowledge. And if your employees don’t understand anything you say, they’ll disengage from the training videos.
HSE training, like any other training course, should not take too long. If the training interferes with the employee’s professional schedule or personal time, a series of problems may arise. There will be unfinished tasks, stacking deadlines, or even unsolved home issues,… These are the main causes of stress in the modern workforce. Your employees cannot watch a feature-length video while trying to get their job done.
That’s why HSE training should be concise. Keep the safety training courses brief and informational. It allows your employees to absorb new knowledge immediately and return to their work duties. When the safety training topics contain too many aspects or require further exploration, simply break them down into microlearning content. Create a series of videos, whereby each one addresses a sub-topic or task. This will also encourage employees to keep HSE training a consistent and continuous process.
To further explain our point, let’s take a look at the case of Aviassist – one of our animated instructional video examples. F.Learning Studio produced a short animated video for Aviassist’s drone training session. The company wants to provide expert-level aviation and drone training to Australian businesses.
The video deals with very in-depth and specific information that would take you 5-6 minutes to finish in text. However, we managed to create a video that is only 1 minute long and has all the essential information. We used the narrator’s voice to keep the learners on track. This safety animation helps to visualize the comparison between length and height or area of the safe zone. Learners can now easily memorize the technical details precisely.

#2 Freight Snap – Supply Chain – Industrial Animated Safety Videos
Safety laws and regulations can be very confusing sometimes. Not all members of the staff can comprehend everything you say in the training content. This is especially true when technology is involved. Without proper illustration and explanation, it’s almost impossible for less tech-savvy employees to understand new technology or systems.
Hence, the H&S training video should be concise and simple. The training video must ensure knowledge retention. It means that the safety information is presented clearly and straightforwardly. Highlighting the most important parts to remember about safety in your workplace is a good strategy. For health and safety animation to appeal to all members of the staff, avoid using big and confusing words. Skip the terminologies or jargon and replace them with simple descriptions.
In Freight Snap’s video above, how and why measuring pallets of freight is beneficial for the warehouse is explained perfectly. The content is lengthy and complicated, consisting of numerous steps. F.Learning Studio knew that we had to simplify them using precise figures and information, so we came up with a clear and colorful animated design for Freight Snap. It helps the industrial safety animation videos to clearly explain what the employees need to learn through life-like characters and sound effects.

#3 IntelyCare Fire Safety Training – Animated Health And Safety Animation Video
All companies must comply with safety training regulations. However, some companies reluctantly include HSE training courses since they don’t offer any immediate interest. They completely neglect the content by adding all the information they can find on the Internet without filtering. This means at least a few parts of the training have nothing to do with the actual work of your employees.
No one likes to take part in training courses that add little or no value to their personal or professional lives. It’s the same with HSE training. Employees won’t waste their time watching irrelevant health and safety animations they cannot use. Also, they will lose interest and disengage from the experience.
Hence, HSE training should be relevant. Apart from the general topics, your videos should also deal with facility-specific safety practices that relate to your business. You can cover job-specific safety overviews, facility accident statistics, or the most common types of injuries in your workplace and how to prevent them. This way, the information is useful to your employees.
In the video above, IntelyCare aims to provide fundamental knowledge about fire safety for the audience. Fire has been the age-old workplace hazard across the centuries. Therefore, F.Learning Studio was more than happy to be on board with this project. The video content is already relevant to all audiences. So, we turned to the delivery.
Our creators went with a familiar design that has relatable characters and scenarios. They assist the video in communicating with the viewers and conveying the message. Laborers and workers can rely on IntelyCare’s video to learn how to prevent such a hazard from happening in the workplace.

#4 The Most Epic Safety Video Ever Made – Industrial Safety Video
Health and safety training videos are boring. It seems like most companies don’t pay much attention to designing this type of video. When the training courses are dull, employees will just reluctantly watch them since their boss is there. They won’t engage in the experience to learn something.
A good health and safety video should be creative and fun to watch. The content is already serious and dry. It would make sense to spice things up with the way you deliver. When making the video, you can slip in a funny phrase, a song, or a joke for a little bit of humor. It takes away the stress and makes information delivery more natural. If you want to secure knowledge retention, add quizzes or small interactive features.
The safety video above from Air New Zealand has brought the fun! We know it’s not an animated safety video, but we simply cannot let such brilliant use of humor go unnoticed. With cameo appearances made by the Lord of the Rings cast and airplane hosts donning Elf prosthetics, any passenger would be pleasantly surprised by this mythical and informative short on passenger airplane safety.
#5 Office Work Safety Video – Health Safety Training Video
When you’re making health and safety animation, you’re doing it for a whole group of employees/audience. That includes all managers, supervisors, and full-time and part-time employees who have to be trained on your company’s workplace safety practices.
For the training to appeal to everyone, it has to be generic. Before you start the project, understand that you cannot satisfy all the employees in your company. Leap in the general direction instead. Skip all the faculty-specific details and use what works for most of the employees. To achieve this, simply conduct research/surveys to find out the general preference. Follow that preference to establish consistent and equal training content.
The workplace health and safety animation from Norsk Hydro above excellently clarifies our point. The utility company from Norway offers several great tips for office workers. It’s a great resource of information about how to stay healthy and safe in an office setting. If you pay a little more attention to the design, you’ll see that the colors and objects are very neutral and generic. They represent pretty much every office on the face of the Earth. This makes the video relatable and appealing to the whole audience, not just a specific group.
Conclusion
If you look closely enough, there’s actual science behind creating impressive and memorable health and safety animation. Mastering this art may take years, even decades of non-stop practicing. But why go through such hardship when health and safety training companies are willing to do it for you?
