safety video

Emergency instruction film

A safety video is an instructional film demonstrating proper procedures to prevent injury or respond to emergencies.

The term most commonly evokes the pre-flight briefings shown on airplanes—explaining seatbelts, oxygen masks, and exit locations—though safety videos exist for workplaces, schools, and industrial settings.

Airlines have turned these once-dry presentations into elaborate productions featuring celebrities or cinematic themes, though passengers rarely watch: I've seen this safety video a hundred times.
