Safety Orientation Video for New Employees – [Complete Training Kit]
$239
You should always give your new employees Safety Orientation Training as part of your onboarding process. Teaching new employees how to be aware of their surroundings, how to work safely in their new job, and to reduce their chances of getting injured is a benefit to both employees and employers alike. OSHA regulations require employees to be trained on safety before starting work. This Safety Orientation Training Video will teach your new employees the ins and outs of workplace safety.
Concepts Covered in this Safety Orientation Training:
- When we carelessly rush through our workday, employees can cause an accident to either themselves or to a co-worker, damage property, or even suffer a serious injury. Safely doing the job is always the best way.
- New hire safety training helps reinforce the concept of safety first within your company.
- Employees should always take precautions and keep safety top of mind while performing their jobs. We must always protect ourselves from hazards, be aware of our surroundings, prevent accidents and injuries, and prepare for emergencies. Newly hired employees, in particular, need this concept taught to them. Safety awareness is a skill all employees should learn – both new employees and tenured employees alike.
- What are some ways that employees can mentally prepare to accomplish their jobs in a safe manner? (concentrate on the task at hand and give the task your full attention)
- The importance of doing your job without drugs or alcohol (these have no place in a workplace)
- How to spot hazards in the workplace and what to do when you find one (safety awareness)
- What safety rules should be in place in any workplace?
- How to reduce or remove hazardous items or situations while performing your job (an important part of any safety orientation program and an important concept for new employees to learn on their first day or as soon as possible)
Safety Orientation Training – Additional Topics Taught in This Program:
- The importance of keeping your work area clean and free from debris (also known as safety housekeeping)
- The role of personal protective equipment or PPE in a safe workplace (some job duties might require gloves, eye protection, safety glasses, or special shoes). PPE training is a critical component of any safety training program.
- Understanding how the human body works when we lift, push, and pull and how to reduce possible injuries by lifting properly, using good ergonomics, etc. Safety training should always include body mechanics and their role in helping to keep employees accountable and injury-free while working.
- Understanding Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and what to do in the case of a chemical spill (of course, your own company policies should be discussed with the new employee as well)
- Workplace fire prevention and fire extinguisher use (fire extinguishers are something all employees should have a basic understanding of, when they are used, and how they are used)
- and much more
Giving your employees a Safety Orientation before they start work is an important first step in keeping them safe and your workplace accident and injury-free. Used in addition to your own company safety program, this Safety Orientation Video will help train your employees and give them the overview they need to get started on the job. Available as an English or Spanish-speaking DVD or USB Stick.
Why Safety Orientation Training Matters
A new employee’s first days are their most dangerous. Workers in their first month on the job are injured at far higher rates than experienced employees — they don’t yet know the hazards, the rules, or who to ask. OSHA requires employers to train employees on the hazards of their job before they are exposed to them, and many OSHA standards (hazard communication, PPE, lockout/tagout, emergency action plans) specifically require training at initial assignment.
A structured safety orientation video does two things a rushed verbal walkthrough can’t: it delivers the same complete message to every new hire, every time, and it gives you documentation — a quiz, a sign-in sheet, and a certificate — proving each employee received the training.
Who Needs This Training
- Every new hire, as part of your onboarding process — office, warehouse, manufacturing, or field
- Temporary and seasonal workers, who are statistically among the most frequently injured employees
- Existing employees transferring into a new role or facility with different hazards
- Any workforce that needs an annual safety-awareness refresher to reinforce a safety-first culture

- Full-length safety orientation video
- Employee quiz and answer sheet

OSHA does not have a single standard called “orientation,” but it requires employers to train employees on the hazards of their work before they are exposed to them. Many individual standards — hazard communication, PPE, emergency action plans, lockout/tagout — explicitly require training at the time of initial assignment. A documented safety orientation is how most employers satisfy and prove that obligation for new hires.
A good orientation covers hazard awareness and how to report hazards, the company’s core safety rules, accident and injury prevention, emergency preparedness, and the expectation that work is always done sober, focused, and at a safe pace. This video covers each of those topics and includes a quiz so you can confirm every new hire understood the material.
The video itself delivers the core safety-awareness message in a single sitting, and the complete session — video, discussion, and quiz — typically fits inside a standard onboarding block. Many companies pair it with a site-specific tour covering hazards unique to their facility, which is exactly how OSHA intends generic and site-specific training to work together.
No. It’s built for onboarding, but many customers use it as an annual all-hands refresher, for temporary and seasonal staff, and for employees transferring between departments. Safety awareness is a skill for new and tenured employees alike.
The complete kit includes the full-length safety orientation video (English or Spanish), an employee quiz with answer sheet, a presenter’s guide for leading the session in person, a printable sign-in sheet, and a printable Certificate of Completion you can copy for every employee. It’s available on DVD or USB, or as an online course.
