AI Masterclass video script: Health and safety cartoon animation: Reporting Near-Misses(First draft!)
Scene 1: The Distraction - Visual: Hazardous Harry is walking through the warehouse, head down, scrolling through his phone. He has one earbud in. - Narrative: Safety begins with awareness. Harry is currently at 0% awareness. Scene 2: The Near-Collision - Visual: A forklift rounds a blind corner. The driver honks, but Harry doesn’t hear it. The forklift swerves and screeches to a halt, inches from Harry. - Narrative: A "Near-Miss" occurs. No blood, no broken equipment, but a massive potential for disaster. Scene 3: The "No Harm, No Foul" Fallacy - Visual: Harry looks up, startled, then chuckles. He gives the forklift driver a "thumbs up" and continues walking while texting. - Narrative: Harry treats the incident like a funny story. By not reporting it, he ensures the hazard remains a secret. Scene 4: The Observer - Visual: Safety Sarah is standing nearby. She isn’t laughing. She watches Harry walk away and then looks at the blind corner. - Narrative: Sarah knows that luck isn't a safety strategy. She recognizes the "Silent Warning." Scene 5: Securing the Scene - Visual: Sarah talks to the forklift driver to ensure they aren't shaken up. She places a temporary orange cone near the corner to force others to slow down. - Narrative: Sarah takes immediate action to protect the next person who walks by. Scene 6: The Paperwork (The "Sarah" Way) - Visual: Sarah is at a safety kiosk or on a tablet. She is filling out a simple form. - Narrative: She isn't "snitching" on Harry; she is reporting the location and the lack of visibility. Scene 7: The Investigation - Visual: The Safety Manager joins Sarah at the corner. They use a tape measure and realise the shelving is stacked too high, blocking the view. - Narrative: Reporting a near-miss triggers a "root cause analysis." They find out why it almost happened. Scene 8: The Engineering Fix - Visual: Maintenance workers are seen installing a large convex mirror and painting bright yellow "Pedestrian Crossing" stripes on the floor. - Narrative: Because of Sarah’s report, the environment is physically changed to prevent human error.
