Less is More
Videos should be relatively short: 8 to 12 minutes is recommended, definitely not more than 20. If you need to talk a lot about safety, then try to divide the content in different, shorter videos. Also, plan your words carefully so you can be concise. Speak slowly and articulate carefully to help your audience understand everything.
Dress for the occasion
Health and Safety is a serious matter. Whoever is appearing in the video needs to dress accordingly. You need your employees to take the video really serious, and the clothes the presenter is wearing will go a long way in doing that.
Keep your audience’s attention
You need your employees to pay attention to your Health and Safety videos. If not, what’s the point in even making one. Vary the types of video you include in each video you make, some options are talking heads, slides, screencasts, animations, or video clips.
