Free training · The Qlause Safety Series
Free workplace safety training your team will actually watch
Professional, narrated safety training videos for manufacturing and industrial workplaces — free to watch, free to use in your inductions, refreshers and toolbox talks. Built on the principles shared by the South African OHS Act, US OSHA, the EU Framework Directive and ISO 45001, so the same module works on any site, in any region.
Every module comes with a free module pack — a 10-question quiz, a toolbox-talk one-pager, an attendance register and a practical worksheet — so you can run it as real, recorded training, not just a video.
~17 minModule 1 · Free
Safety Induction — Rights, Duties & Safety Culture
The complete new-starter induction: the deal between you and your employer, your three legal rights, how to spot hazards before they find you, and exactly what to do when something goes wrong — or almost goes wrong.

Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment (HIRA)
Hazard vs risk done properly: the hazard categories, how risk assessments actually work, the hierarchy of controls from elimination down to PPE, and how every worker takes part — not just the safety officer.

~17 minModule 3 · Free
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
PPE as the last line of defence: what each item protects (and what it doesn't), selection and fit, care and inspection, and the head-to-toe walk-through every worker should know before their first shift.

Incident Reporting, Near-Misses & First Response
Near-misses are free lessons — if they get reported. What counts as an incident, how to report it, why scene preservation matters, and what first response looks like while help is on the way.

Machine Safety & Lockout/Tagout
A switched-off machine is not a safe machine. How machines actually cause harm, why guards must never be defeated, the hidden stored energy that catches people out, and the isolate–lock–tag–verify routine — plus exactly where general awareness ends and certified, authorised work begins.

Fire Safety & Emergency Preparedness
Fire spreads in seconds, not minutes — the time to learn the plan is before the alarm sounds. How fire starts and how to prevent it, how it's detected and how to raise the alarm, exactly how to evacuate, and the honest limits of when a small fire can be tackled and when you simply get out.

Chemical Safety & Hazard Communication (GHS)
The most dangerous hazards are the ones you can't see. The GHS system — the one global chemical language — how to read a label in seconds, the nine pictograms (and the three people confuse), how to use a safety data sheet, the four routes of exposure, safe storage and decanting, spills, and what to do if a chemical reaches you.

Working at Heights & Falling Objects
Height punishes the smallest mistake the hardest — and it isn't only the person up high who's at risk. Why 'low' is where most people get hurt, the hierarchy for heights (avoid, prevent, arrest), using ladders and platforms safely, guarding edges and floor openings, protecting the zone below from dropped objects, and the honest line between awareness and certified, permit-controlled work.

~12 minModule 9 · Free
Manual Handling & Ergonomics
The hazard with no bang, no spark and no fall — just the slow wear of a body used the wrong way, until one ordinary movement is the one that hurts. Why it's the 'slow injury', the handling hierarchy (eliminate, reduce, technique), how to lift, push, pull and carry to spare your spine, using aids and team lifts, fitting the job to the body, and reading the early warning signs.

Slips, Trips, Housekeeping & Forklift Awareness
Slips, trips and same-level falls are the single most common cause of injury in almost every workplace — and they hide in the floor you've stopped seeing. The four causes behind nearly every slip and trip, housekeeping as the master control, the 'see it, sort it' habit, and the rules for sharing space with forklifts and other vehicles.

How to run these as real training
- Watch the module together as a team, in an induction block, or send the link ahead of a toolbox talk.
- Download the module pack and run the 10-question quiz to check understanding.
- Record it on the attendance register — that's your training evidence for audits (ISO 45001 clause 7.2 / ISO 9001 7.2).
- Reinforce it with the toolbox-talk one-pager at the next shift meeting.
The complete 10-module series
All ten modules of the Qlause Safety Series are live above — from induction to forklift awareness. The free Lean & continuous-improvement series is live too: six more modules, same format, same free packs.

Need training built around your own site?
We'll build site-specific induction videos for you
The free modules cover the universal principles. If you need training built around your own hazards, machines, PPE and procedures — your induction, your rules — we produce custom safety and induction videos to the same standard: narrated, professional, and delivered branded to you or white-label for your own LMS, each with a matching quiz, toolbox talk and attendance register so it counts as recorded, auditable training.

Qlause is built for SHEQ people who wear both hats: explore the free Clause Explorer, the document templates and the free ISO 9001:2026 masterclass.
This material supports, but does not replace, the site-specific and legally mandated training required in your jurisdiction. It is awareness-level training built on the shared principles of the South African OHS Act, US OSHA regulations, the EU Framework Directive and ISO 45001 — your site's procedures and local law always take precedence. Regulated competencies (first aid, firefighting, forklift operation, working at heights and similar) require formal, certified, region-specific training.
