The challenge
Make safety feel serious without making it frightening.

Make safety feel serious without making it frightening.
SGS needed to communicate its Rules for Life across a global workforce of around 100,000 people, helping employees understand the behaviours and precautions that can keep them safe and healthy while carrying out their work.

The subject required particular sensitivity. Previous training had used realistic depictions of accidents that some learners found frightening or uncomfortable. The new experience needed to communicate the potential consequences clearly, without relying on imagery that could overwhelm or disengage people.

And with a global audience, the experience also needed to work consistently across 30 languages.

Rather than taking every learner through the same experience, Inelso designed different learning paths based on where they worked.

Learners could choose between:
Learners could choose between:
Marine Terminal
Office
Laboratory
Each path presented relevant situations and safety risks within that working environment. The different journeys then came together at Home, extending the Rules for Life beyond the workplace with scenarios showing how the same safety principles could help prevent accidents in everyday life.
Handling a serious subject with care
Because realistic depictions of accidents had previously made some learners uncomfortable, INELSO took a different visual approach. A heavily animated experience was designed to communicate the seriousness of the risks without relying on graphic or distressing imagery.
Animation, video, sound and visual design helped make potentially sensitive scenarios clear and memorable while keeping the experience appropriate for a global audience.
