Workers need to understand hazards and site-specific protocols before they step onto the site.
A professional orientation video gives every worker the same information in the same way.
Site Orientation Sessions
Construction sites often run orientation sessions at scheduled times, such as 7am daily or on specific days of the week.
A site supervisor or safety officer walks new arrivals through the checklist of hazards and emergency procedures. Most of these sessions are delivered verbally, sometimes with a few slides, by whoever is available to present that day.
Professional safety orientation videos are an option for contractors of any size. Videos cover site-specific hazards, access routes, muster points and emergency response plans, with site photos and company branding.
What an Orientation Video Changes on Site
Supervisor Time Back
Experienced supervisors and safety officers get time back for the work that requires their expertise.
Consistent Information
Every worker gets identical information regardless of which supervisor ran the session or whether key personnel are available that day.
Flexible Scheduling
Sites can keep running orientations at scheduled times by playing the video. Workers can also watch when they arrive, or ahead of time if site rules allow.
A Reusable Asset
The video adapts as projects evolve and gives owners and regulators a consistent, professional first impression of the operation.
Updating the Orientation Video
reVerb has been embedded with a major project in Alberta for over a year as part of a broader communications contract, and produced the original site orientation safety video when work began.
During the winter construction slowdown, the project team asked us to revise the video. Site conditions will change significantly as construction moves into new phases, and winter was the time to update it before the busy spring season.
The client has its own corporate communications team. reVerb works directly with the on-site project team, with corporate communications providing final sign-off. Corporate communications focuses on brand identity and corporate messaging, and reVerb handles the project-specific work that requires being on site daily and moving at construction speed.
The Project
Professional Production
The behind-the-scenes footage shows Nick Ross, Communications Associate at reVerb, recording voiceover narration for the updated orientation.
Professional voiceover and accessibility features give the final product a polished finish that reflects well on the operation.
reVerb works on construction sites across Alberta as an extension of project teams. We know construction operations because we work in construction environments.
Behind the Scenes
Built to Adapt From the Start
Core content stays consistent across projects. Site-specific sections are designed to be swapped out, so when contractors need videos for new sites or project phases, we adjust the relevant sections and keep the framework.
Core Content
- Safety culture
- Corporate branding
- Company standards
Site-Specific Sections
- This gate
- These hazards
- This muster point
- These emergency procedures
Embedded or Standalone
Embedded Communications Support
reVerb embeds as part of the communications team, handling safety videos, project documentation, stakeholder updates and the communications work that keeps construction moving.
Standalone Orientation Videos
For contractors who need professional orientation videos without full embedded support, reVerb produces standalone videos with the same quality and flexibility.
