HSE induction videos and safety training
Myriad makes site induction videos, HSE films and safety animation for energy, construction and industrial sites in the UAE, the US, the UK and worldwide. For online inductions, e-learning and tracked safety training, we work with our sister brand SHIIFT.
Start a conversation.
The problem
Every person who comes through the gate has to understand the site’s hazards and rules before they start work. On a major project that can mean thousands of people, dozens of contractors and several first languages, with new arrivals every week.
Most inductions are a slide deck read aloud in a cabin. People sit through it, sign the sheet and forget it. The message also changes with whoever is presenting that day.
A filmed or animated induction gives every worker the same briefing, shows the real site and its real hazards, and works in whichever language they understand best.
How we help
We film on your site and combine it with 3D animation and motion graphics, so workers see the place they are about to enter and the hazards a camera can’t safely capture. We write the script with your HSE team and check it against your procedures and life-saving rules.
The result can be a single site induction film, a set of short modules by role or area, or a wider safety campaign. Where you need the induction online, with a test and completion tracking, SHIIFT builds it as e-learning from the same material.
What it can involve
Site and project inductions.
The rules, hazards and layout of a site, for every new arrival.
Country and travel inductions.
What staff and contractors need to know before they land.
Life-saving rules animation.
Each rule shown through the situations where it matters.
Lessons-learned films.
Real incidents reconstructed in 3D so the causes are clear.
Equipment and procedure training.
Short films on tasks such as using breathing apparatus or protecting hands.
Multi-language versions.
Voiced or subtitled for a multinational workforce.
Our sister brand
SHIIFT is Myriad’s training brand. It builds health and safety training for industrial workforces: e-learning and online inductions, training video and animation, and AR and VR simulations.
SHIIFT works with HSE, operations and training teams and builds each course in the format that fits the job: e-learning, video, simulation or VR. Courses run on desktop, mobile or any VR or AR headset, and each person’s results report into your LMS.
The two brands share one production team. Myriad makes the films and animation, and SHIIFT turns them into courses your workforce can complete online, with tests and completion records for your HSE team.
If you need an induction that contractors complete before they reach the gate, or training you can track across sites, start with SHIIFT.
What SHIIFT builds
Site orientation and onboarding
Inductions completed before anyone reaches the gate.
Life-saving rules training
The rules that save lives, made impossible to forget.
E-learning and online inductions
Courses built from your own procedures, sites and standards.
VR and simulation training
High-risk tasks practised safely and repeatedly.
Workplace safety training videos
Training films and animation for every role on site.
SCORM and LMS integration
Scores and completions reported to your LMS.

Selected work
Why Myriad
Clients include ADNOC, ADNOC Drilling, TotalEnergies, Al Hosn Gas, PDO, Schlumberger, BHP, Dubai Airports and IOGP. We film on operating sites, onshore and offshore, and write every script with the client’s HSE team. We work from offices in Houston, Abu Dhabi and London, and our sister brand SHIIFT takes the same content into online inductions and e-learning.
Common questions
What should an HSE induction video cover?
+
The hazards specific to your site, your life-saving rules, emergency procedures, PPE, permits and who to report to. We work from your existing induction and procedures, and your HSE team signs off the script before we film.
How long should a site induction video be?
+
As short as the content allows. Many clients split the induction into modules of a few minutes each, by topic or by role, so people only watch what applies to them. ADNOC Drilling’s induction is five modules and Dubai Airports’ is six.
Can you produce the induction in several languages?
+
Yes. We voice or subtitle inductions for multinational workforces. PDO’s process safety drama was made in Arabic and English, and ADNOC’s Safety Day campaign ran in four languages. Animation helps too, because much of the message is carried by what people see.
What does an HSE induction video cost?
+
It depends on the length, the number of filming days, how much animation is involved and how many languages you need. We’ll give you a quote once we’ve seen your current induction and the site.
Should a safety induction be filmed or animated?
+
Usually both. Filming shows the real site, which helps people recognise where they are. Animation shows what can’t be filmed safely, such as a gas release, a dropped object or a vehicle collision. ADSSC used 3D animation to reconstruct an incident that was sensitive and long past.
Can the induction be delivered online with a test?
+
Yes. Our sister brand SHIIFT builds online inductions and safety e-learning with tests and completion tracking, so people can complete the induction before they arrive on site. Find out more at shiifttraining.com.
Can you update the induction when the site changes?
+
Yes. Sites change through construction, commissioning and operations. We structure inductions in modules so one section can be re-filmed or re-animated without remaking the whole induction.
What’s the difference between a site induction, an orientation and HSE training?
+
The terms overlap. An induction or orientation is the briefing every new arrival gets before starting work. HSE training goes deeper into one topic, such as breathing apparatus, hand safety or process safety. We make films and animation for both.
Where are you based, and where do you work?
+
We have offices in Houston, Abu Dhabi and London, and we’ve made inductions and safety films in the UAE, Oman, Suriname and the US, among others. Clients usually work with the office closest to their site.
