Free Funny Safety Videos
Mixing safety and comedy is not common - and for many good reasons.
You might successfully argue there's nothing funny about safety, and the consequences of poor safety and safety training practices.
And having been in safety video production circles for some time, we know it's definitely not easy to make - 99% of the attempts miss the mark completely and flop. Especially if a genuine training outcome is intended.
But on the other hand we all respond to clever humour... Even if some of it is in poor taste.
Whichever side of the fence you sit on, you can decide for yourselves about the offerings below.
One of our biggest safety training challenges is to keep the training fresh and engaging. Whilst these will never be central to any training of substance, the humour will at the very least have your teams thinking about safety. Perhaps use in conjunction with our safety videos and manual handling training DVDs...

Download Flash Player This is quite long (08:44mins) - and in German, but is like nothing else we've ever seen. There's been quite a lot of effort in the production go into this - and we're not sure what the message is supposed to be after the 10 minutes or so! Not for the faint-hearted. It starts like any ordinary safety training video does, but after about 3 minutes or so, there's blood, guts - and alarm bells... |

Download Flash Player This is a video classic from the US National Archive in the public domain. It's an Office Safety Video Rewind - 1944 style. Notice the chauvinistic & political incorrectness towards women (e.g. "Don't be so indignant - what would you have done if he hadn't been there?" and "Your friends will never believe your story!"). Notice also the young women always get it wrong whilst the middle-aged man is always on hand for the rescue. Funny stuff. Great for a talking point at your next conference |
