Safety Intervention Films
Dramatic Reconstructions
Floating Harbour collaborated with Petrofac, Impromptu Ltd, and W2 Training to produce a powerful series of safety intervention films. Designed to explore catastrophic workplace incidents, these reconstructions help employees understand and adopt the STEP process (Stop, Think, Evaluate, Proceed) to mitigate day-to-day operational risks.
Filmed as high-impact dramatic reconstructions based on real-life events, the series was designed for global scalability across diverse, multilingual workforces. By highlighting the human consequences of bypassing safety protocols, the films have become a core component of interactive workshops delivered to thousands of employees worldwide. Our expertise in industrial safety film production ensured that these complex scenarios were communicated with clarity and emotional resonance, driving significant behavioral change across this global organistion.
The weld scenario follows a welder about to make a fatal mistake before he stops to think it through; the lift scenario is built around a real crush injury, and Petrofac shared photographs from an actual accident to help get the detail right. Both were shot in 2014, with the cast in Petrofac coveralls and branding so employees would recognise their own site rather than a generic safety video.
The welding video is perfect, it hits the message that we would like to send through.
This film is part of our training and learning film work. See all the films we make.

OK, look, I want to talk you through this job, all right? You'd be all right if you didn't have to. Hey, come on, lads. We've got an hour to get the job done, all right?
It's a straightforward piece of housekeeping. We've got some new spools coming in and we've got to make space for them. It's only manual handling, so no forklifts or crane needed. Cable spools and pallets need to be stacked up over there.
Allys are here, that's your job. Jan, small piece of wood and metal. You've got to go in the bin over by the entrance. Jan, that's your job.
As I said, we've only got an hour to clear the site, so there's any questions? Ali, come on, let's hear it. It's nothing really boss, but there's a lot to move in an hour, isn't there? Well, yeah, but the sooner we get started, the quicker we're finished, all right?
Look, if there's anything you're not sure about, just ask me, OK? Yeah, sure. Come on, Ali. It'll be good for you.
Build up those biceps. Right, check your PPE. Ali, your hat. Jan, put your gloves on, please.
Come on, Ali, we've only got an hour to clear the site, all right? OK, let's get started. Watch yourself. You can grab the other end of that.
Hello, Mike, speaking. Yeah? When do you want me? OK.
All right, OK. I'll be there in a minute. OK, see you. We're going to sort out a problem with the crane repair, all right?
So finish up, Ian, I'll be back in 15 minutes. OK. Where's the gun, then? He's just going to check on the crane repair.
All right, well, we'll finish here in a minute. Hey, look, there's a beam. Come on, have a look. We should move this one into the stack over there.
Yeah, it'll be easy to get the spools in. We're not going to be able to move that between the three of us, are we? We can get Dave over. Only take him a minute.
Look, there he is. Hold on, I'll get him. Dave! Oi!
You'll give us a hand for a minute. All right, two minutes, come on. Come on, lads. Need to move this.
Over there. That's it. There's a piece of wood under the beam.
