Enhancing Lab Safety Awareness for a Leading Biopharmaceutical Innovator

Biocon Limited, a pioneer in biopharmaceutical innovation with advanced R&D centers and GMP-compliant laboratories, recognized a critical need to reinforce lab safety protocols using engaging and standardized training methods. With a workforce spanning scientific, technical, and support roles, the company sought a solution that could transcend traditional training limitations.

After evaluating multiple vendors, Biocon entrusted CORE-EHS with developing a high-quality 3D animated laboratory safety training video, based on our proven track record in visual EHS communication and successful prior industry implementations.

The Challenges

Despite rigorous internal safety frameworks, Biocon faced several training-related constraints:

• Laboratory safety compliance was consistent, but training delivery varied across departments.
• Standard SOPs were often misinterpreted—especially by new staff and non-native English speakers—leading to minor safety deviations in 20–25% of audits.
• Traditional formats (manuals, slide decks) struggled to convey the real-world implications of risky lab behavior.
• The need for regulatory-aligned content that could also double up for onboarding, refresher training, and audits.

Biocon required a solution that could visually demonstrate safety protocols, ensure retention, and help maintain compliance with stringent industry standards.

The Solution

CORE-EHS delivered a 10-minute, fully customized 3D animated video, focused exclusively on laboratory safety practices. The solution was designed to visually engage employees while accurately representing Biocon’s laboratory settings and operational context.

Key aspects included:

• Scene-by-scene scripting and animation using Biocon’s SOPs and hazard guidelines.
• Inclusion of real-life lab risks such as chemical spills, PPE misuse, fire hazards, and improper waste disposal.
• Fully narrated video with on-screen safety indicators and multi-level instructional layering.
• Optimized for microlearning with short, high-impact sequences allowing replay and pause-based learning.
• Delivered in under 8 weeks, adhering to Biocon’s aggressive timeline.

The video was built to reflect over 90% of typical lab incidents and safety actions, ensuring relevance and real-world application.

Resulting Benefits

The new animated training module had a noticeable impact within the first quarter of its rollout:

• Lab-related incident reporting dropped by 32%, indicating higher awareness and caution.
• Employee feedback scores increased by 70% in post-training evaluations.
• Training time reduced by 40%, with improved consistency across departments.

Additionally, Biocon successfully used the animation as part of their regulatory documentation during external audits—earning commendations for visual clarity and training effectiveness.
