What are the annoying things you find with health and safety DVD/Videos that are available at the moment. Just being looking at some and they same to be dated. Just looking for some observations as to other peoples views and recommendations as to good examples as well as what people think should be in these "productions".

Never been a huge fan of them. I did find some of the old HSE titles helpful, as well as some CITB ones as well, but in general not all that impressed. dated, some foreign (Australian - is that foreign) 'dubbed' into English (if that makes sense?!), and often not relevant to our work place, practices etc. I am sure that there are some out there that are 'good' and useful but none that have caught my eye for a while. We did our own bespoke one for refuse collection and at the time the production price was reasonable and the messages within tailored to our needs, using our chaps, or kit etc. I have used other 'videos' for training in the past such as the Challenger disaster, Kings Cross etc.

I find the NAPPO series useful.

The best training films I have ever seen were the ones on management staring John Cleese. It's a shame nobody has done something like that for H&S, they were worth watching just for their comedy value.

Try Vocam, zand the FPA (fire safety) - some media is quite outdated, the problem I found with media was trying to make it fit as they cover the basic principles mainly and don't really go into the 'how to do it' bit much i.e. a powerpoint in media format as apppssed to practical/sensible advice. Don't forget about the HSE's website, just picked up their legionella dvd!
