Remember Charlie |
| Rating: |
 |
| Supplier/Date |
Emergency Film Group / Unkown publication date |
| Scope: |
A motivating storyteller, Charlie Morecraft captures the audience with a common language and keeps listeners on the edge of their seats as he recreates his near-fatal accident and the incredibly painful aftermath in engaging detail. Audiences from all occupations wake up to the high cost of an accident. |
| Comments: |
- The most powerful safety video I have ever seen. When I first saw it presented in a room of 200 people. During the playing of the video you could hear a pin drop in the room.
- Charlie Morecraft's story vividly demonstrates how by using the proper safety procedures and utilizing the appropriate personal protection equipment would have prevented the fire and destruction of an oil refinery and his devastating, life threatening injuries.
- I have presented this video many times. In all cases all who viewed it became much more conscience of the dangers surrounding them in their work place and home. It never was a problem to get them to wear the proper PPE again.

Working Around Cranes |
| Rating: |
|
| Supplier/Date |
Coastal / Unkown |
| Scope: |
Factors and safety practices surrounding cranes. Major subheadings included weather, power lines, set up, inspection and some work practices. |
| Comments: |
• The video is substantially about outdoor mobile cranes. A fair proportion of the time is spent on crane assembly, working around power lines and weather.
• As an aside, some of the scenes were of W. O. Grubb at the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse site.
• The presenter seemed realistic.
• Some of the provisions were difficult to believe. (Cordon off the sweep area, never work under loads)
• The rules were incomplete, as would any video of this length on this topic.
• This might serve as a routine reminder or brief intro. It is not a full training session on what we need to know to work around cranes. |

The Casino |
| Rating: |

| Supplier/Date |
NEA / 1993 |
| Scope: |
“The Casino” is a film that shows how workers and employers of the construction industry have taken a stand to reduce workplace accidents and deaths and solve the workers compensation crisis that threatens no only our health system, but our standard of living. |
| Comments: |
• Video deals with union erection of structural steel.
• The video consists of representatives of both union and management commenting about their experiences and perspective of workers compensation cost.
• The analogy is that paying money into workers compensation insurance is equivalent to a casino. The only people who benefit from a comp claim are insurance companies, lawyers, and the health system. Workers and employers are the losers.
• Video can be informative to both management and employees but the story becomes old after 10 minutes into the video. |

Grove Manlift/ Unkown |
| Scope: |
Reviews all of the safe operating and inspection procedures for scissor man lifts & boom man lifts. |
| Comments: |
• Great training video. Great way to train employees to operate these lifts. The video reviews all of the OSHA requirements for training except for the hands on training. I have used this video to train employees as well as train trainers to train employees.
• Video is aimed towards Grove equipment but the principles can be applied to any brand of scissor lift and boom lift.
• Video is split into two parts. Part 1 deals with scissor lifts and is 15 minutes long. Part 2 deals with boom lifts and is 16 minutes long. Each part can be shown separately if you need to train for just one or the other. |
| Run Time: |
31 minutes. (Part 1 – 15 Minutes, Part 2 – 16 Minutes) |
