Safety training is an important topic for employers. Quite frankly, safety training is necessary for many reasons: to reduce work-related injuries, to keep our employees doing the work we pay them to do, and to reduce the number of workers’ compensation claims we have. What does this have to do with a single security video? Well, the Remember Charlie video is perhaps the most influential safety video ever made and will save your company money.

Here are four reasons why this video should be an important part of your security training regimen:

1) The Remember Charlie video is very inspiring! Charlie Morecraft’s story will absolutely captivate those who see it. It’s an inspiring story of why safety training and procedures are a much-needed part of the American workplace.

2) This video, although expensive, will pay for itself many times over. How much is a work-related injury worth to your bottom line? The insurance industry estimates that the average workers’ compensation claim costs more than $5,000. This includes not only medical treatment, but also lost time and permanent disability. The Remember Charlie video will force your employees to think about safety at all times.

3) Is personal protective equipment (PPE) important? Ask Charlie Morecraft. The lack of a safety procedure coupled with the lack of use of personal protective equipment amounted to disaster. Yes, the video will reinforce why your PPE is necessary, vital, and a required part of working safely.

4) This is a safety training video that will leave an impression on your employees. The video will leave a very lasting impression on those who see it. As most of you know, security training videos are boring and easy to forget.
