Developing Custom Safety Animation Films for Mining Operations at a Global Infrastructure Conglomerate
-
The Premise
Adani Enterprises Ltd., a global infrastructure and logistics conglomerate, oversees extensive mining and resource management operations at various locations, including its high-priority Parsa Kente open-cast coal site in Chhattisgarh. As part of its commitment to environmental, health, and safety (EHS) excellence, Adani sought to transform its safety training for on-site personnel through engaging 3D animated safety films.
Adani collaborated with CORE-EHS to develop a suite of 9-minute animation movies tailored to real-world site conditions, with a focus on increasing training effectiveness while maintaining compliance with corporate and legal EHS protocols.

The Challenges
Working in a high-risk environment like open-cast mining posed significant training challenges for Adani’s EHS team:
- Verbal safety briefings led to inconsistent delivery, especially across shifts and contractor batches.
- A 2021 internal audit flagged that nearly 35% of incidents were linked to lapses in hazard perception or SOP non-compliance.
- The workforce was diverse in language and literacy, reducing the effectiveness of static SOP documents.
- The EHS leadership required realistic visuals replicating the actual Parsa Kente site, to ensure full situational relatability and increased recall.
Adani’s goal was to deploy high-fidelity, character-driven animation reflecting day-to-day operational risks and best practices for mitigation.
-
The Solution
CORE-EHS created a 9-minute 3D animation movie, tailored specifically for Adani’s mining operations .
Project Scope:
- Custom-built animation using site-specific data (photos, layout, machinery) to accurately depict buildings, machinery, safety gear, and terrain from the Parsa Kente site.
- Integration of indigenous safety mascots and animated characters in realistic scenarios.
- Embedded narration with professionally curated voiceovers, designed for diverse language accessibility.
- Delivered in high-resolution .mp4 format for display across induction halls, control rooms, and kiosks.
- Ensured all visual elements complied with global copyright standards while respecting Adani’s IP ownership for custom-built content.
The entire deliverable was completed and dispatched within 30 days, meeting Adani’s tight compliance-driven rollout schedule.

Resulting Benefits
The impact of the customized safety animation at Adani’s Parsa Kente site was immediate and well-documented:
- Training consistency improved by 100%, with uniform messaging across contractor and employee batches.
- Onboarding time per individual was reduced by 41%, owing to the animation’s clarity and visual storytelling.
- Post-training assessments recorded a 57% improvement in hazard recall and response behavior.
- The animation helped the EHS team conduct more effective toolbox talks, with visual aids now leading to 3X more engagement.
- The Parsa Kente EHS team rated the animation as a “benchmark resource” and recommended replicating the model across other Adani sites.
This project stands as a strong example of how site-specific safety animations can enhance compliance, reduce onboarding costs, and create a culture of safety across complex industrial environments.
