What do you do when off the shelf just won't do? Many times, an off the shelf training video doesn't meet your needs; it's either too generic or doesn't cover all the information you want. This was the situation I found myself facing when charged with developing a Behavior Based Safety training curriculum. The solution to the problem ended up being creating my own in-house training videos. Now this might not be the answer for every organization, but I wanted to share both the finished product and the process with you here.

A training video isn't just something that you throw together. It needs to be assembled in the same manner as any other learning curriculum.

The right way to go about it, is to first do a needs analysis. A training video is supposed to help solve a specific problem; the very first thing to do is define that problem as clearly as possible. In this case, the problem was that we were having too many OSHA recordable incidents. We wanted this to stop. We wanted employee behaviors that led to incidents to decrease while at the same time increasing the behaviors that led to incident avoidance.

In a nutshell, we wanted the learners to take away certain specific and measurable learning objectives that resulted in a behavior change, that in turn, decreased incidents.

Just as with other types of training, you need to know who your audience is. Audience attention span and motivation to learn are factors that come into play in deciding both the method of training and program length. In my case, the learners consisted mainly of mechanics, guys who don't have a lot of time, who don't want to be in a classroom and who may also be lacking in PC skills. Short videos that could be shown in the shop, that were entertaining as well instructionally sound and that used the employees themselves as the 'stars', were the answer.

The next step was research and collaboration with subject matter experts. In my case, I worked with the resident safety guru, who by the way, stars as OSHA1 in the 'Safety Begins With You' video. This helped lay the foundation of these videos, provided real life examples to use and set the stage for the scriptwriting.

So, the needs and audience analysis are done, the problem is defined, the specific and measurable learning objectives are laid out, and insider knowledge has been obtained. Now it's time to write the script.

I was lucky enough to have Nick James of Nick James Productions (http://www.nickjamesproductions.com) enter the picture at this point to assist me in writing scripts that were both instructionally sound and that were based on learning objectives. It was definitely a collaborative effort and much thanks is owed to Nick. Once the scripts were completed, they were put back in the hands of the subject matter experts to ensure that we were still on the right track and that nothing was lost in translation.

After script approval, we went into pre-production, production, post-production, and the evaluation. This involved a lot of reviews and going back and forth until we arrived at the final product that you see here before you. Add print materials that supported the videos and knowledge checks and exams that ensured learning was taking place and that it was measurable and we had a world class Behavior Based Safety video curriculum and we did it all in-house. Enjoy the vids!
