SiteOne | Safety Training Video | Gloves

In this case, the gloves are staying ON in this safety training video for hardscapes leader, SiteOne

ECG has been a long-time go-to vendor when it comes to the world of hardscapes and hardscaping. With hot off the presses branded content like Concrete Combat for Sakrete under our belt, were pride ourselves on making things like concrete drying just a little more exciting than they could be.

Enter: SiteOne. SiteOne approached us looking for a partner to help them with a series of in-house safety training videos that involved both animation and live-action. SiteOne provided the talent, and ECG provided the studio location, and the whole series of videos was knocked out in a single day of production.

Once the production element was complete, it was time to turn the videos over to the animation department. Thanks to a wonderfully written script, provided by SiteOne, the animation team was able to match the playful style of the script with an equally playful animation style. Using stock art when possible, and custom-creating anything they couldn’t find, the animation team added as many little pops of personality as possible, while still keeping the message front-and-center.

Once the animation was complete, it was time to turn the videos over to finishing. Color correction on the footage really made the lead talent pop off the screen, and adding some subtle shake on the animated elements really helps the pieces feel more alive. Next it was time for the final audio mix and sound design and it was time for the whole team to get involved in the process. If you listen carefully on the title slide for each video, you can hear multiple people yelling that name of the video: Gloves, 3 Points of Contact, Lifting.

With all of the pieces in place the videos were ready for prime-time, and were delivered to SiteOne. With the delivery of the finals, these safety videos were pushed out to Site One’s production facilities and suddenly everyone feels a lot more safe.

Project Story

Discover how ECG Productions crafted SiteOne’s engaging hybrid safety training video featuring gloves, combining live-action and animation to boost workplace safety.

Help readers decide how to produce effective hybrid safety training videos that combine live-action and animation for maximum impact.

Why Gloves Matter in Safety Training Videos

When it comes to workplace safety, gloves are more than just protective gear—they’re a visual cue that reinforces proper procedures. SiteOne’s safety training video keeps gloves on throughout the shoot to emphasize their importance in hardscaping operations. This simple production choice ensures the audience immediately understands the focus on hand protection, making the safety message clear and memorable.

Balancing Live-Action and Animation for Engagement

SiteOne’s project combined live-action footage with playful animation to keep viewers engaged without diluting the seriousness of the message. ECG Productions utilized SiteOne’s in-house talent and shot all live-action segments in a single day at our studio. Post-shoot, the animation team layered in custom and stock artwork that matched the script’s tone, adding personality while maintaining clarity. This hybrid approach helps training videos stand out and improves knowledge retention.

Production Details That Elevate Safety Training

Key production elements made a big difference in the final videos. Color correction was applied to make the lead talent visually pop, ensuring focus stays on the demonstrators and their gloves. Subtle animation effects like gentle shakes added life to the graphics without distracting from the content. The final audio mix incorporated sound design and multiple voices on title slides to create an immersive experience, making the training feel dynamic and collaborative.

Efficient Workflow: From Script to Delivery

SiteOne provided a well-crafted script that guided both the live-action shoot and the animation style, streamlining the production process. ECG’s integrated approach—from studio production to animation and finishing—allowed the entire video series to be completed efficiently, with all elements approved and delivered on schedule. This workflow is a model for brands seeking to produce multiple training videos without sacrificing quality or timelines.

Making Safety Training Stick: Lessons from SiteOne

The success of SiteOne’s glove-focused safety videos lies in thoughtful production choices that prioritize clarity, engagement, and brand alignment. Keeping gloves visible on talent, blending animation with live footage, and applying finishing touches like color and sound design all contribute to a polished, effective training tool. For companies looking to boost safety culture through video, this project illustrates how combining practical production expertise with creative storytelling delivers results.
