Training, induction and safety
Training video production that gets watched.
Training video production, site inductions and safety content, filmed with your own people on your own sites so the material is recognised rather than clicked through. Built as short modules you can update one at a time. A single film runs $2,000 to $20,000 ex GST; a full site induction sits around $8,000, and less per site after the first.
Nearly every organisation already has the content. It's in a procedure, a slide deck, a laminated sheet by the door, and in the head of whoever has been there longest. The problem is never that the information is missing. It's that the format guarantees nobody absorbs it, and everyone in the room knows it.
Video fixes that only if it avoids the same trap. A twenty-minute compliance film with a stock-footage forklift and a voice nobody recognises is a slide deck that moves. What changes behaviour is seeing your own leading hand, on your own plant, explaining the thing that nearly went wrong last winter. That's harder to produce, and it's the entire point.
What we make
The briefs that come up most.
What a visitor, contractor or new starter needs to know before they walk past the gate: the layout, the hazards specific to this site, the rules, and who to find. Built to a template so the second site costs a fraction of the first.
Step-by-step modules that onboard someone without you standing next to them. Consistent enough to be the standard, short enough to be rewatched for one answer.
A single behaviour, made memorable. These work best as a campaign with a name people repeat rather than a one-off film, and they are where a story from your own site beats any amount of production value.
What actually happens in the first two minutes, filmed where it would happen. The content people need to have already seen, because they will not be reading anything at the time.
Pre-start checks, correct operation and the failure modes that matter, shown on the machine your people will actually use.
The obligations that have to be communicated and evidenced, made watchable enough that the evidence means something.
The approach
Modular, not monolithic.
The single biggest decision on a training project is length and structure, and it gets made badly more often than any other. An organisation asks for "the induction video", gets one twenty-minute film, and discovers three things over the next year: people watch it once and retain a third of it, a single procedure change makes the whole film stale, and there's no way to assign the two modules a visiting contractor actually needs.
So we build the same content as a set of short modules, each covering one thing, each replaceable on its own. Roles get the modules that apply to them. A change means refilming three minutes rather than commissioning a new production. And the graphic templates and project files stay live, so a revision in two years picks up where this one left off.
The same logic applies across sites. A site induction built once as a template gives you a structure, a scripting framework and a look. Each further site is then a shoot day and a localised edit, which is why organisations with a dozen sites end up paying far less per induction than the first one cost.
How it runs
From procedure to finished modules.
Work through the content with the people who own it
Usually your HSEQ or training lead, plus whoever actually does the job. We take the existing procedure and decide what has to be shown, what only needs saying, and what can be cut because nobody's ever needed it.
Structure it into modules
We agree the module list, the length of each, and which roles get which. This is the document the whole project gets judged against, and it's worth spending an afternoon on.
Scripting framework, not a script
Your people get talking points and a run of what they need to demonstrate, not lines to memorise. It films faster, and it sounds like someone who knows the job rather than someone reading about it.
Film on site, around the day's work
Small crew, your site rules, positions agreed with the supervisor at the pre-start. Where a demonstration can't safely be performed live, we'll say so and find another way to show it.
Deliver in the formats your systems need
Module files with subtitles, cut to the lengths your learning system expects, plus versions for the tablet at the gate and the screen in the induction room. Project files kept so revisions are cheap.
What training and safety video costs
A single training or safety film runs from $2,000 to $20,000 ex GST. A full site induction film, scripted and built so the structure can be reused, sits around $8,000. Once that template exists, each additional site is a shoot day plus a localised edit rather than a production from scratch, so the per-site cost drops sharply. For a multi-site rollout, ask us to quote the program rather than the first film.

Most of our safety and induction work happens on active sites, where getting in the gate is half the job. How we handle inductions, PPE, exclusion zones and multi-site programs is set out on the construction page.
Construction and civil videoCommon questions
What training and HSEQ leads ask.
How much does training video production cost?
A single training or safety film runs from $2,000 to $20,000 ex GST. A full site induction film, scripted and built so the structure can be reused, sits around $8,000. Once that template exists, each additional site costs materially less because it is a shoot day plus a localised edit rather than a production from scratch.
How long should a training or induction video be?
Shorter than most organisations expect, and broken into modules. A single twenty-minute induction is watched once and remembered poorly. The same content as six three-minute modules can be assigned by role, refreshed one module at a time when a procedure changes, and rewatched by someone who needs one answer rather than all of them.
Should we use actors or our own staff?
Your own staff, in almost every case. Safety and induction content works on recognition: people follow a procedure demonstrated by someone they know, on plant they use, in a space they walk through. Actors on a generic set produce content that is technically correct and quietly ignored. We film your people as a conversation rather than a scripted read, which is why it does not look like compliance content.
Will the video work in our LMS?
Yes. We deliver standard video files with burned-in or separate subtitle tracks, cut to whatever module lengths your learning system expects, plus versions for the channels where people actually watch: a tablet at the gate, a phone in the lunch room, a screen in the induction room. We do not build SCORM packages ourselves, but the files drop into the tools that do.
What happens when a procedure changes?
That is why we build these as modules rather than one long film. A changed procedure means refilming one module, not reshooting an induction. We keep the project files and the graphic templates, so a revision picks up where the original left off instead of starting again.
Can you film safety content on an operating site?
Yes, and it is where this content should be filmed. We work to your site rules on PPE, exclusion zones and permits, plan around the day's program with the supervisor at the pre-start, and keep the crew small. Where a demonstration cannot safely be performed live, we say so and find another way to show it.
More on the thinking behind this work: when training and induction video is worth filming, and how to make a safety video people actually watch.

Send us the procedure.
The fastest way to start is to send the existing procedure or induction deck and tell us how many sites it has to cover. We'll come back with a module structure and a realistic budget range before anyone books a shoot day.
