Plant Safety Video Series

Ten bite-size animated safety videos, bilingual and built with GenAI as lightweight HTML. They play on a gate kiosk, a toolbox-talk tablet or a phone, even offline.

The Challenge

Safety rules that live in binders don't reach the shop floor

A refinery's safety depends on thousands of employees and contractors applying the same few rules every day. Training material was long, text-heavy and slow to update.

Long, dense SOPs

Permit, LOTO and confined-space procedures ran to many pages. Contractors skimmed them at induction and forgot them by shift two.

Video was slow and costly

Each agency-produced film took weeks of shooting and editing. Updating one step meant re-shooting.

Many languages on site

A mixed workforce needed the same message in more than one language, spoken as well as written.

Low connectivity zones

Heavy video files streamed poorly at gates and in process units, where training is needed most.

HMC Approach

One rule per video, animated in code

HSE owned the content. GenAI did the drawing, animating and translating. Every frame was reviewed before release.

Select a step to see what happened.

Discover · Pick the rules that prevent the most harm

We started from plant SOPs, the permit system and recent near-miss learnings.

  • Shortlisted ten high-consequence topics, from PPE and permits to H₂S and evacuation.
  • Reduced each SOP to one core rule and three things to remember.
  • Mapped where people would watch: gate kiosks, toolbox talks, phones.

Deliverable: Ten-topic curriculum with key messages.

Design · Storyboards in plain language

Each video follows the same five-beat structure.

  • Title, three to four action scenes, then a "remember" card. About 30 seconds.
  • One caption per scene, written for a Class 8 reading level, in English and Hindi.
  • Industry-standard visual language: yellow hard hats, navy coveralls, plant skyline.

Deliverable: Storyboards and a bilingual caption sheet.

Build · GenAI draws and animates

Claude turned each storyboard into an animated SVG scene written in code.

  • A shared library of characters and plant equipment keeps all ten videos consistent.
  • Captions and optional voice narration in English and Hindi, switchable live.
  • Each video is a few kilobytes of code, not a video file: it plays offline.

Deliverable: Ten videos in one HTML player, reviewed by HSE frame by frame.

Adopt · Where people already are

The series went into existing safety routines, not a new app.

  • Looped on gate-induction kiosks for contractors.
  • Played at the start of toolbox talks, one topic per day.
  • Shared to supervisors' phones as a single file.

Deliverable: Daily safety-minute rota and kiosk mode.

Scale · More topics, more languages

Adding a topic or a language is an edit, not a shoot.

  • Regional languages added per site; new topics from incident learnings.
  • A quick recall quiz after each video for induction records.
  • HSE owns the content; the template stays the same.

Deliverable: Template and prompt pack for new topics.

The Solution

The ten videos. Press play.

Pick a topic from the playlist. Switch captions between English and Hindi, turn on voice narration, jump between chapters, or go full screen for a kiosk. Videos play one after another.

Safety Minute series

Content illustrative and aligned to common refinery practice; final scripts to be validated by the plant HSE team against site SOPs before use. Voice narration uses the device's built-in speech and may vary by browser.

Impact Dashboard

Remembered, not just watched

Short, visual and in their own language, the rules stuck. Recall improved most where the old material was densest.

Key Takeaways

What transfers to any plant safety team

01

One rule per video

Thirty seconds on a single behaviour beats thirty minutes on everything. People remember the picture, not the paragraph.

02

Code beats camera for safety content

Animation in code is cheap to change. When a procedure changes, the video changes the same week.

03

Say it in their language

Captions and voice in the languages spoken on site reach the contractor who needs the message most.
