Introduction
We recently produced a general induction video for Zibo Containers to address their health and safety requirements as a manufacturer of rigid plastic containers for food packaging. Many may assume that health and safety videos follow a uniform approach, but it is important to recognise that each company and industry have unique considerations based on their operations. For this client, producing safe food packaging containers required a strong emphasis on hygiene protocols and contamination prevention. This video helped the client onboard new employees effectively, help maintain consistent training practices, and meet compliance and regulatory standards. Additionally, we created a visitor video to outline safety protocols for individuals entering the facility.
Production Process
During the planning phase, we used the client’s existing health and safety materials to develop a detailed script and shot list that covered all necessary safety topics. The script focused on key areas, including Personal Protective Equipment, Incident Management, Waste and Water Management, Machinery Operation, and Health and Safety Rules. Given the critical importance of hygiene in food packaging, we highlighted topics such as protective clothing, personal hygiene, maintaining a clean working environment, restricted materials in the production area, and measures to prevent contamination. These considerations were integral in ensuring the safety of the manufacturing process and the quality of the food packaging.
Filming
During production, our videographers followed the shot list to film the planned safety footage. We also incorporated drone footage to provide an aerial perspective of the facility, highlighting specific safety zones and operational workflows. This added dimension allowed for a better understanding of the layout and how safety measures are implemented in various areas of the production process, making it clear how each department adheres to the required protocols.
Post-Production
In post-production, our editors compiled the footage and added motion graphics to communicate information in a straightforward manner. Motion graphics serve as a creative alternative for highlighting important details such as safety protocols and operational standards. These graphics made intricate ideas about processes more approachable by segmenting the information, which helps combat information overload. Upon the client’s request, the video featured organograms that they wanted to incorporate. We redesigned these to match their brand colours and overall style, bringing a cohesive look to the video while ensuring the information was presented clearly.
Collaboration and Impact
We value client feedback and prioritise working with our clients to create video resources aligned with their specifications. This project allowed us to help the client standardise their training, reducing the need for live trainers and providing a resource that improves retention compared to traditional text-based training. By producing these induction videos, we supported the client’s efforts to provide thorough training resources for employees and visitors alike, reinforcing their commitment to safety and quality in the food packaging industry.
This project represents our commitment to delivering video content that is thoughtfully aligned with the client’s requirements, while upholding transparency and industry standards. The induction video serves as a resource in supporting the client’s onboarding process and ensuring that all employees and visitors are well-informed about the safety measures in place. By prioritising health and safety, the client can maintain high standards of quality and safety in their operations.
